Gribun Phone Box Defibrillator

The Gribun Phone Box, a distinctive red telephone kiosk, is a notable landmark on the remote Gribun coastline of the Isle of Mull, and it serves a vital role as the location for a publicly accessible defibrillator. This iconic structure, set against a backdrop of dramatic scenery, has been repurposed to house life-saving equipment, underscoring the community’s commitment to emergency preparedness in this beautiful, often isolated, area.

In the critical event of a medical emergency, such as a sudden cardiac arrest, where a defibrillator might be required, the immediate and crucial action is always to immediately dial 999 and request the ambulance service. Emergency call handlers on Mull maintain an up-to-date database of all registered defibrillator locations, including the unit at the Gribun Phone Box, and can provide precise instructions on how to access and utilize the device.

This initiative at the Gribun Phone Box reflects a wider community effort by the Mull and Iona Community Trust to strategically place these devices in key locations across the islands. Visitors exploring this wild and picturesque part of Mull can be reassured by the knowledge that this important emergency resource is readily available, contributing to the safety and well-being of everyone in the area.
