Tobermory Harbour Defibrillator

Tobermory Harbour, a bustling and iconic hub on the Isle of Mull, is equipped with a vital public access defibrillator, centrally located at Taigh Solais (the Harbour Building). This essential automated external defibrillator (AED) is strategically placed in this popular area, ensuring immediate aid can be provided in the critical event of a sudden cardiac arrest for residents, visitors, and marine users alike. Its presence underscores the community’s proactive commitment to comprehensive emergency preparedness.

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 Tobermory Harbour. 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 Tobermory Harbour 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 in this busy port town, contributing significantly to the safety and well-being of everyone enjoying Tobermory’s vibrant atmosphere and beautiful waterfront.
