Suidhe Farm Defibrillator

Suidhe Farm Cottages, nestled on the hillside near Bunessan on the Isle of Mull, is equipped with a vital public access defibrillator. This essential life-saving device is strategically positioned in the parking area, attached to the garage wall, ensuring immediate aid can be provided in the critical event of a sudden cardiac arrest for guests staying at the cottages, as well as individuals within the surrounding rural community. Its presence significantly enhances safety in this beautiful and tranquil part 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 Suidhe Farm. 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 Suidhe Farm 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 both visitors seeking a peaceful retreat and the local community with the means to respond effectively to cardiac emergencies, contributing significantly to the safety and well-being of everyone in the Suidhe area.
