Winster has an emergency Defibrillator, which is in a locked yellow cabinet on the wall of the shop at the top of Woodhouse Lane. The 999 service will give you the lock code if they think you need to use the machine.
But how can you get the defibrillator if you need to deliver CPR to your partner? This is where the Winster Emergency Telephone Tree comes into action. Call (01629) 698699 and your call will ring the phones of ten volunteers across Winster. The first to get to the phone will answer your call - and you can ask them to get the Defibrillator to you (and perhaps send another helper to share with CPR).
Winster Surgery does its own dispensing, but if you need a Chemists at other times, the nearest Chemist is Jayne A Hibbard Pharmacy which is part of the Medical Centre on the A6 in Darley Dale (01629 733375). Matlock and Bakewell each have several chemists with Boots in Bakewell (01629 812043) open on Sundays (in summer, at least). B. Payne & Son have a pharmacy in Wirksworth (01629 822607).
