First responders
We are part of the Scottish Registered Charity “Friends of Chalmers Hospital”
The First Responders in Banff and Macduff help and provide Chalmers Hospital with...
- Public Access Defibrillators - Ian Williams
- CPR and other Life Saving skills training - Colin Robson
- Community First Responders for the Scottish Ambulance Service. - Colin Robson
Each Public Access Defibrillator (PAD) is checked regularly, and where necessary, maintained.
The pads - the electrodes - have a limited life span and are changed every two and a half years or so; and the batteries last between four and five years; each PAD (Public Access Defibrillators) - at 2024 prices - costs £109 per year to maintain, and they look after twenty. That cost is met by donations, fund-raising, and occasional grants if applications are successful.
More about the hospital!
Chalmers Hospital was founded by the late Mr Alexander Chalmers, Merchant of Banff who died on 11 August 1835. In his will he left the whole of his estate to be applied, upon the death of his wife, towards funding and building a hospital for the people in the Royal Burgh of Banff. Mrs Chalmers died in 1861 and on 19 July 1864 Chalmers Hospital opened.
The hospital is supported by GPs from Banff & Gamrie, Deveron, Macduff, Portsoy and Aberchirder Medical Practices.
