Heart of the matter

Workplace First Aid Training Ltd managing director Phil Hudson (left) gives a defibrillator training session to Otago Peninsula residents, after the Otago Peninsula Lions Club raised funds to buy a defibrillator for the community.

Otago Peninsula Community Board chairman John Bellamy plays patient while Otago Peninsula Lions Club member Mark Scott observes.

The defibrillator will be placed temporarily at the Bay Cafe in Macandrew Bay, and it is hoped it will be mounted in an external cabinet early next year.

More training courses will be held in February.
