Availability of Defibrillators. Following the incident at Southsea Regatta this year and at Poole last year an exercise to establish the availability of Defibrillators at H&D Clubs and Events. A survey of Clubs and Events has been undertaken asking - The Location, if known, of the nearest unit to your Clubhouse; The Location, if known, of the nearest units to the location of any events you stage; The First Aid Provider - at your events; Dose your First Aid Provider provide a Defibrillator an staff trained to use it. The results of this survey can be downloaded in pdf format from the Safety Section of the H&D ARA Web site at - www.hdara.co.uk  

The results of the survey will be considored by the H&D Safety Sub Committee at its annual meeting in January/February, 2017.
