Defibrillators with 24-hour access have been installed outside Elliotts branches in Southampton, Ringwood, Lymington and Portsmouth.
Elliotts branches in Fareham, Bishop’s Waltham, Chandler’s Ford, Christchurch, Romsey, Tadley, Totton and Winchester have defibrillators located in-branch available to the local community during opening hours.
A 24-hour access defibrillator has also been installed outside our Fordingbridge branch by the local community.
We decided to invest in defibrillators for all branches after first aid refresher training highlighted their importance.
“It was easy to see how vital these machines can be in terms of the potential to save the life of an employee, customer or anyone nearby to an Elliotts that may need one.”, said Tom Elliott, Managing Director of Elliotts.
“I’m pleased that our investment will benefit all the communities in our 13 locations.”
Defibrillators may seem complicated, but you don’t require training to use one.
This fantastic video by the British Heart Foundation explains exactly how to use it and what to do if someone goes into a cardiac arrest:
