Seven new life-saving defibrillators have been installed at Buckfast Abbey, taking the total on site to eight. This makes the religious centre and popular tourist attraction one of only a handful of venues in the South West to have so many defibrillators available in one place. The vital role the resuscitation equipment plays has recently received global attention following Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen’s sudden cardiac arrest at the Euros 2020 match, showing that people of all ages and levels of fitness can benefit from fast access to defibrillators. Every year in the UK over 30,000 people suffer cardiac arrests outside hospital. For every minute that passes without early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation, chances of survival fall by 10%. With many thousands of visitors coming to the Abbey, its grounds, conference centre, hotel and self-catering accommodation each year, the defibrillators and their potential to save lives is seen as vital; providing a fast response for visitors, staff and the local community, should a medical emergency occur. The seven new units which are provided by South Western Ambulance Service Foundation Trust (SWASFT) will offer the potential of life sustaining support to thousands of Buckfast Abbey’s annual visitors, their 114 staff members, and the on-site community of monks.
