Hollowells provides community defibrillator
Northampton’s largest funeral director, Hollowells Funeral Directors, has provided funding and a location for the Brafield on the Green community defibrillator.
Helping support the remote community to deal with heart difficulties, the defibrillator has been placed in a highly visible spot in front of the funeral director’s recognisable blue door. 999 and 111 operators are able to supply the code to unlock the defibrillator box as needed.
The community defibrillator works with voice prompts to guide users through the process and administer shocks automatically when required, as an emergency ambulance heads towards the box’s location.
The funeral director said: “Hollowells value our roots in this tight and closely knit rural community, so are very proud to have been able to provide this vital piece of potentially life-saving equipment.”
