Nationwide Amesbury Provides Life-Saving Defibrillator and Bleed Control Kit

A Nationwide branch in Amesbury is helping support the local community by providing access to a defibrillator and bleed control kit outside the branch.

The life-saving equipment has been made available outside the Nationwide branch in Amesbury, giving members of the public access to essential emergency equipment when it is needed most.

A defibrillator can be used to help someone suffering a cardiac arrest, while a bleed control kit contains equipment designed to help control serious bleeding until emergency services arrive.

Having this equipment in an accessible location could make an important difference during an emergency, particularly when every second can matter.

Residents, visitors and people working in Amesbury may be able to use the equipment in an emergency. Anyone finding themselves in a serious medical emergency should always call 999 and follow the instructions provided by the emergency services.

The availability of the defibrillator and bleed control kit is another example of local businesses and organisations helping to make the community safer and better prepared for emergencies.

For SalisburyPost readers, knowing where emergency equipment is located in the local area can be useful, especially for families, businesses and anyone regularly visiting Amesbury town centre.
