Is your defib emergency ready?

Less than 1 in 10 people survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the UK.

By registering and regularly recording your defib checks on The Circuit, you give ambulance services the confidence that it’s ready to save a life.

Make sure it is on the map, register on The Circuit website here 👉

The Circuit maps defibrillators across the UK. It ensures that emergency service can find the nearest public defibrillator if someone is in cardiac arrest.
