Loch Buie Old Post Office Defibrillator

The Loch Buie Old Post Office, a charming and historically significant building nestled in the remote and picturesque landscape of Lochbuie on the Isle of Mull, is equipped with a vital public access defibrillator. This essential life-saving device is strategically placed at this community hub, now operating as a popular tearoom and larder, ensuring immediate aid can be provided in the critical event of a sudden cardiac arrest for residents and visitors exploring this tranquil corner of the island.

In any medical emergency where a defibrillator might be required, such as a sudden cardiac arrest, the immediate and crucial action is always to dial 999 and request the ambulance service. Emergency call handlers on Mull are fully informed about all registered defibrillator locations across the island, including the unit at the Loch Buie Old Post Office. They are trained to provide precise guidance on how to access the device and offer crucial instructions on its use, all while professional medical assistance is promptly dispatched to the scene.

The provision and ongoing maintenance of this defibrillator at the Loch Buie Old Post Office is part of the broader commitment by the Mull and Iona Community Trust to establish a robust network of these critical devices across the islands. This initiative ensures that vital medical equipment is readily available, empowering local communities and visitors with the means to respond effectively to cardiac emergencies, contributing significantly to the safety and well-being of everyone in the Lochbuie area.
