Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa installs three on site defibrillators to ensure guest and staff safety

Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa has reinforced its commitment to the safety and wellbeing of its guests and staff, as well as the wider community, by investing in three life-saving defibrillators. 

The newest device has been installed in The Spa, in addition to two already held in the main hotel. The defibrillators in the Spa and leisure centre are available during opening times whilst the device in the hotel's main reception is available 24/7. Each defibrillator is registered on The Circuit, the national defibrillator register, to give the surrounding hotel’s surrounding community access in case of a cardiac emergency. 
Defibrillator awareness sessions are run in house every month, giving all staff the opportunity to hear, see and feel the device in operation. The new investment reflects Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa's ongoing commitment to providing a safe environment for everyone who visits or works at the hotel. 

Noel Byrne, Chief Executive at Bedford Lodge Hotel and Spa, says, “Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, at any time, and immediate access to a defibrillator can significantly increase the chances of survival. 

“While we hope these defibrillators are never needed, they provide reassurance that we are prepared to respond quickly in an emergency. This investment is an important part of our commitment to creating a safe and welcoming environment at Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa."
