Defibrillators

[Topsham Boy]

Just a question.
Given the Eriksen situation, does anyone know whether we have defibrillators and trained medics/staff at both SJP and the C&F ?

I think it is required under FA rules. The FA supplies them to amateur clubs so I would be amazed if they are not standard kit at pro clubs.

Others will be able to fill in the details but this quote from Steve Perryman has always stuck in my mind.

We were lucky enough to be taken ill at football matches where there was expertise and medical equipment on tap.

As an aside, if you haven't had a chance to see a modern defibrillator they are absolutely incredible. Long gone are the huge things you used to see on tv medical dramas; they are now tiny, light, easy to carry, relatively cheap and idiot-proof - the machine itself works out whether an electric shock is needed and tells you exactly what to do.
