WOLLASTON folk can take heart that a defibrillator is now at their disposal during working hours.

The lifesaving device is available at Wollaston Dental Practice at 27, High Street, next to Webster's florists.

Dan Higgins, of Stourbridge based Healthcare Education and Skills Training, who trains staff to use the defibrillator, said: "It's important that people know the defibrillator is there instead of waiting for an ambulance to arrive. It could help save a life."

Anyone who would like instruction on how to work the emergency life support equipment can contact Dan Higgins at info@hestraining.com or 07814 428335.
