Ulva Primary School Defibrillator

Ulva Primary School, a vital educational and community hub located on the Isle of Mull, is equipped with a publicly accessible defibrillator. This essential life-saving device is strategically placed within the school premises, ensuring immediate aid can be provided in the critical event of a sudden cardiac arrest. Its presence highlights the community’s dedication to enhancing emergency preparedness and safeguarding its members, particularly in this rural part of the island.

In any medical emergency where a defibrillator might be required, 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 Ulva Primary School. 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 Ulva Primary School 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 empowers the school community, local residents, and visitors with the means to respond effectively to cardiac emergencies, contributing significantly to the safety and well-being of everyone in the Ulva Ferry area and surrounding communities.
