The Pomme D'Or Hotel in St Helier - the location of one of Jersey's public access defibrillators
Since 2001, St John Ambulance in Jersey has worked with local businesses and communities to install life-saving equipment across the island. As a result there are now 88 public access defibrillators on the island of Jersey in banks, shops, colleges and other public places such as hotels, Jersey Harbour, Elizabeth Castle – to name but a few. The St John Ambulance team in Jersey has trained hundreds of local people in how and when to use a defibrillator and there have been several occasions when the devices have been used to save a life.
“This must make Jersey one of the most HeartSafe® places in Great Britain” says Nigel Truscott, Deputy Commander of St John Ambulance in Jersey. “We are aiming to continue to promote the accessibility of these life-saving devices as past experience shows the importance of the equipment being deployed during the first few minutes of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest. We are delighted to be working with the team at AED Locator (E.U.) Ltd to help increase the awareness of Jersey’s defibrillators. It’s important that people living on or visiting the island know the exact location of the defibrillators – and this website provides that facility”.
