We are pleased to say that, after discussions with East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS), the Mapperley Cooperative Store and Gedling Borough Council, plans are now in place for a potentially life saving device to be available for the general public visiting the busy commercial area of Mapperley Top in Nottingham.

Physio Control is the largest manufacturer of resuscitation devices in the world and have been established since 1955. 70% of the ambulance services have Physio Control on board their ambulances or in the hospitals so it is proven technology.

The offer: East Midlands Ambulance Service is currently running a promotion that means we can obtain a defibrillator, external cabinet and training for up to 2 hours.

The LIFEPAK® CR Plus defibrillator comes with 2 x Pair of Quickpak electrodes, a CHARGE-PAK Charge Stick, Soft carry case, resuscitation kit and a Training DVD.

The cost of the device including VAT is 1188.80 and ongoing replacement parts (over the 8 year warranty) will be 268.20. The total being £1457.

The cabinet will require an electrician to fit to an external wall. Maybe a local electrician will provide this service for free.

All we need now is to fund this with a target amount of £1500.
