Station Court defibrillator now available to wider Duns community

Published on 9th March 2018

Berwickshire Housing Association (BHA), along with Hart Builders, has been instrumental in helping make the defibrillator at Station Court in Duns available to the wider community.

Rachel Fourie, Regional Manager for Community Integrated Care (CIC) explained:

“We have been very fortunate at Station Court, Duns, in receiving the kind donation of a box to allow us to put our defibrillator outside the main building allowing the wider community to access it. This was arranged through our partners Berwickshire Housing Association who secured the donation from Hart Builders.

Hart Builders were keen to acknowledge our service and the good communication we maintained with them during recent works they were carrying out in the street which involved pipe laying and the restriction of the water supply at times.

Carolyn Veitch, our Housing Officer with BHA, was really supportive in taking things forward and securing our donation so a huge thanks to her. The defibrillator has now been registered on the national database by local paramedic Colin Baxter.”
