Fri, 26 May 2017

Two telephone boxes in the west of the Island have been converted into defibrillator kiosks.

The phone boxes in Dalby and Patrick Village have been renovated to include a defibrillator, vandal-resistant cabinet and heater to keep the equipment at the right temperature.

The cabinets can be opened with an access code, available by calling 999.

Defibrillators can increase a person's chances of surviving sudden cardiac arrest by 70%.
