Sadly, research shows that people living in lower socio-economic areas are less likely to have access to a defibrillator.

So it’s vital that when there are defibs in these areas they're rescue-ready and registered on The Circuit.

Primary teachers: help your pupils become lifesavers 📣

Children are never too young to learn how to recognise an emergency, call for help and understand the basics of CPR and defibrillator awareness.

By taking part, you'll help pupils build confidence, resilience and a sense of responsibility for their communities, while introducing them to skills that could one day help save a life.

Quick access to a defibrillator can be lifesaving in a cardiac arrest.

Yet nearly half of people don’t know where the nearest AED is at their local sports venue.

If you’re involved in community sport, help your club prepare for the ultimate medical emergency by making sure members are aware of where your defib is located.
