One of our latest projects is to provide and install Public Access Defibrillators for public use in various locations across the Isle of Man.

These locations have been chosen because they fall outside the optimum response time of either the Ambulance Service or a volunteer Community First Responder, or they are where large numbers of people regularly gather.

Our first Public Access Defibrillator was placed in Ballasalla in September 2012, and was used in an emergency just a few months later.
