First Aid at Wakatere
Defibrillator
Wakatere has a defibrillator. It is in a bright yellow box on an outside wall below the main side entrance. It is accessible 24/7.
The access code is available in an emergency by calling 111. A Call Handler will provide instructions to assist you/the patient until help arrives, If necessary the Call Handler will stay on the line to give you support and further instructions.
This defibrillator is registered with the online AED locations site https://aedlocations.co.nz
CLUB FIRST AID
Our primary first aid kit is onshore in the Race Office (low white cupboards). There are supplementary kits in the kitchen and the downstairs training room and in grab bags for each patrol boat.
During regattas we have a number of Club members with medical training for immediate assistance. Contact the Race Office for details.
