On the defibrillation unit this could be managed by TROSSACHS search and Rescue who already mange over 100 defib units across stirling and beyond. In any case is the defibrillator [and any others in the town] registered with ‘The Circuit’ the national register for defibrillator units and does the Scottish Ambulance service have a note of its location/method of access/person or organisation responsible for its maintenance?
Hi. I asked at the Allanwater Cafe and they check theirs weekly, Physio Focus check theirs and is restricted use and on the find a defib Web page. The one at the Bridge of Allan Parish Church im told is not on the website and I’m waiting for church to let me know. The one under the tunnel next to HAVN and Friend of Mine im told is looked after however no mention of this on any website , I emailed Meadowpark who have one in reception but no one answered me regarding who maintained this and when speaking to fellow merchants no one seems to know where all the defies are. Would it be that all merchants have a map in their window and letter to advise them where they all are?? Ruth from Bridge of Allan Funeralcare
