Campaign sees defibrillators installed in Evesham

A paramedic's campaign has led to 14 defibrillators being installed on people’s homes in a Worcestershire town.

Kerry Wood began bidding to improve access to the life-saving devices in Evesham while she was a student.

It came after she realised it could take 40 minutes to transport people in cardiac arrest to Worcestershire Royal Hospital A&E.

Since installing an automated external defibrillator (AED) on her own home in October, more and more people have offered their properties.

More than £1,000 has been raised and the new devices have been put up on walls on housing estates across the town.
