Life-saving defibrillators have now been installed at every Northern railway station across South Yorkshire.
The scheme was partly funded by South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) and has seen a total of 36 new defibrillators installed in the last few months of 2022.
Every defibrillator has step-by-step, spoken word instructions built-in to it which explain how to use it on someone in an emergency.
Computers inside the defibrillators work to analyse a person’s heart rhythms to find out if an electric shock is needed. Electrodes then automatically deliver the shock if required.
All of the life-saving units have been added to the national register and training will be offered by the local ambulance service to station staff along with local communities.
