 H&D ARA "portable" Defibrillator.  

 

The Hants & Dorset ARA has now purchased a portable defibrillator. This will be passed from event to event along with the Race Officials safety Kits and Life Jackets ensuring that there is a defibrillator at every H&D ARA event  regardless of whether there is already one available nearby or one is provided by the host club and/or their First Aid Provider. 

The unit is being funded by contributions from H&DARA Affiliated Clubs.

The unit purchased is a - Phillips Heartstop HS1 First Aid Defibrillator with soft carry case for ease of taking it around to events, a four year battery a set of adult pad cartridges and eight years manufacturing warranty and is described as “uncomplicated and easy to use” 

This new piece of safety equipment was made available for the first time at Newport Regatta over the weekend – on the 27th/28th July, 2017 – and should be at every subsequent H&D ARA event.

Additional information on the Defibrillator can be downloaded here in pdf format -

Safety Information. 

Availability of Defibrillators.

Following the incident at Southsea Regatta in 2016 and at Poole in 2015 a survey to establish the availability of Defibrillators at H&D Clubs and Events was undertaken. The results of this survey can be downloaded in pdf format here 

If you are struggling to find your local defib unit then you can download an app from the following link - http://www.scas.nhs.uk/news/campaigns/savealife/ which may tell you where it is - although it does not seem to work for the IW and parts of Dorset.
