Defibrillator and Emergency Telephone Tree

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).

Chemists

Winster Surgery does its own dispensing, but if you need a Chemists at other times, the nearest Chemist's is Jayne A Hibbard Pharmacy on the A6 in Darley Dale (01629 733375). Matlock and Bakewell each have several chemists. B. Payne & Son have a pharmacy in Wirksworth (01629 822607).

I have failed to find any online "Out-of-hours rota" for the area, so the best I can do is suggest you try calling the two Matlock pharmacies which share the duties; Manor Pharmacy 01629 57924 or 55644 or Boots on 01629 582189. The "extra" hours are 5.30pm to 6.30pm Monday to Friday, and 12 noon to 1pm on Winter Sundays and Bank Holidays. Boots in Matlock opens 10am to 4pm on Summer Sundays.

Boots at Church Farm in Ripley (01773 748192 DE5 3TF, 16 miles from Winster) are open (including pharmacy) until midnight Monday-Saturday and 10am-2pm on Sundays
