Life Saving Defibrillators Installed In Five Parks Across Belfast
Belfast City Council has installed life-saving defibrillators in five parks across Belfast.
The defibrillators, which can be used to help someone suffering a cardiac arrest, have been installed in Victoria Park, Waterworks Park, Boucher Playing Fields, Tullycarnet Park and Fullerton Park.
A defibrillator can deliver a shock to the heart to correct a chaotic heart rhythm.
The defibrillators are externally situated in key coded cabinets and are accessible during normal park opening hours. The ambulance service will give users the cabinet access code as soon as they have confirmed they are dealing with a genuine cardiac arrest.
