Clerks Unplugged On The Road - 13 October 2026

Europe/London
Add to calendar:


        Join us on Tuesday 13th October at The Community Centre, Needham Market, 10am –12pm for a relaxed, informal morning where you can expect great conversation, practical tips, shared experiences over coffee and cake.

        We’re pleased to welcome our speaker Andy Read - founder of the Sudbury Team Defib  - a group of people who wish to see everyone being given the best chance of survival and a vision to have a defibrillator available within 2 minutes of every Sudbury home and workplace.  The group aims to reduce mortality and create a community “self-help” spirit, which can be shared with others.

        As part of his talk, Andy will give attendees the opportunity to refresh their knowledge of defibrillators or learn more about their use and management within our communities.

        The session will cover a range of practical considerations, including:
        *Purchasing and installing defibrillators
        *Raising community awareness and encouraging confidence in their use
        *Ongoing maintenance, including maintenance contracts
        *Registering and managing defibrillators through The Circuit (British Heart Foundation)
        *Recording and managing assets through councils’ asset registers and risk assessments

        It promises to be a practical and informative session, with useful guidance for councils looking to ensure their defibrillators are accessible, maintained and ready to use when they are needed most.

        We also hope to be able to offer CPR training on the day, providing an excellent opportunity to refresh existing skills or gain greater confidence in responding to a cardiac emergency. Details of the CPR element will be confirmed nearer the time.



        We look forward to seeing you there!
