Four life-saving publicly accessible defibrillators now available in Dalkeith
Funded from the Dalkeith Common Good Fund, these vital resuscitation devices are now in place in secure cabinets on the south-west facing wall of the pavilion in Kings Park; at the entrance to Dalkeith Library; on an external wall at the south end of Pettigrew’s Close and on the wall of the MARC building facing Woodburn Road.
Available for use 24 hours a day, members of the public, on dialling 999 in the event of a cardiac emergency in the vicinity, will be given the access code allowing them to start treatment before the paramedics arrive.
