Defibrillators Safety Notice

Published: February 6, 2025

🚨 Important Announcement: Defibrillator Recall & Temporary Replacement 🚨

Due to a manufacturer recall, all defibrillators in the village have been temporarily taken out of service. While this situation is beyond our control, the Parish Council is working hard with the manufacturer to obtain loan replacements for the five affected locations as soon as possible.

In the meantime, a temporary replacement defibrillator has been installed at Tutbury Club for emergency use.

⚠️ In an emergency, always dial 999. The ambulance service will advise you on the nearest available defibrillator, how to access it, and how to use it.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this issue. Further updates will be provided as soon as possible.

New Bleed Kits installed

Published: January 30, 2025

📢 Community Safety Update: Bleed Control Kits Now Available in Tutbury! 📢

Tutbury Parish Council is committed to making our community a safer place. We’re pleased to announce that we have installed five bleed control kits into existing defibrillator cabinets at the following locations:

  • Tutbury Club
  • Cross Keys
  • The Leopard
  • Ferrers Avenue Store
  • Park Lane Store
    • NEW ONE DUE AT FAULD INDUSTRIAL ESTATE

Additionally, we will be installing a new combined cabinet at Fauld Industrial Estate, which houses both a bleed kit and a defibrillator.

These kits contain essential tools to stop catastrophic bleeding, which could be caused by a variety of accidents. They include a tourniquet, gauze for packing deep wounds, a pressure bandage, and a chest seal for puncture wounds. According to the video source, these kits contain “exactly the same things as we carry on the air ambulance”. The video also explains how each item should be used.

We encourage everyone to watch this informative video  https://youtu.be/9KeReK5_9qE

to understand how to use these kits in case of an emergency. While we hope you never have to use one, having these kits readily available can make a critical difference in saving a life. The earlier a bleed control kit can be deployed, the better chance a patient has of surviving an injury.

In an emergency, call 999. The ambulance service operator will provide you with a code to access the cabinet and guide you through the use of the kit. Instructional leaflets are also included in each kit.
