Ulva Ferry Phone Box Defibrillator

The Ulva Ferry Phone Box, situated prominently next to the Ulva Boathouse on the Isle of Mull, plays a vital role in community safety by housing a publicly accessible defibrillator. This distinctive red telephone kiosk, at the gateway to the Isle of Ulva, contains an essential life-saving device strategically located for both residents and visitors utilizing the ferry service or exploring this area. Its presence highlights the proactive commitment to emergency preparedness in this key transit point.

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 equipped with an up-to-date database of all registered defibrillator locations, including the unit at the Ulva Ferry Phone Box. They are trained to guide callers on how to access the device and provide step-by-step instructions for its use, all while professional medical assistance is promptly dispatched to the scene.

The provision and ongoing maintenance of this defibrillator at the Ulva Ferry Phone Box 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 individuals to respond effectively to cardiac emergencies and contributing significantly to the safety and well-being of everyone in the Ulva Ferry area and surrounding communities.
