Safety Features
Langham Parish Council has installed a defibrillator and a Village Emergency Telephone system (VETS).
Defibrillator
This is located near to the main entrance to the Community Centre adjacent to the Community Shop.
The defibrillator is registered with the Ambulance service. If a person calls 999 and it is a potential cardiac arrest the Ambulance service may provide information on where the nearest defibrillator is located and the code to get into the cabinet. In the cabinet is a defibrillator, a rescue kit, torch, hi viz jacket and a pocket mask.
The defibrillator is a semi-automatic unit with visual and audio instructions which are easy to follow.
Langham Village Emergency Telephone System (VETS)
If you are with a person who you suspect has had a cardiac arrest, immediately call 999 as normal. An ambulance will be dispatched as soon as possible, however due to the location of Langham, this may take a while.
You may well be alone with the patient and cannot leave them to go and get the village defibrillator, so there are a group of volunteers who will respond to a telephone call from you. All the volunteers are on the same number and if a volunteer is available you give them your location, they will collect the defibrillator and come to your location, they will then assist in CPR and using the defibrillator until the ambulance or medics arrive.
The number to call these volunteers is: 01206 700990
