Eastbourne residents urged to check life-saving equipment

The plea comes after an Eastbourne Area Community First Responder found some of the life-saving equipment at sports facilities to be years out of date.

Alec Stephens said, “With the pandemic time has gone by and time has elapsed without people realising that their life-saving automated external defibrillators are running out of time as well.

“It is false security to believe that you are protected from a sudden cardiac arrest when the equipment is useless.”
