School Defibrillators

Is your school’s defibrillator registered on The Circuit?

The Circuit is the national defibrillator network from The British Heart Foundation which maps defibrillators across the UK. It allows ambulance services to locate the nearest registered defibrillator when a bystander calls 999 in response to a cardiac arrest.

The Circuit also sends maintenance reminders to defibrillator Guardians (the individuals responsible for looking after the defibrillator). These reminders support Guardians in making sure that their defibrillators are always ready to save lives.

Have a look at the British Heart Foundation Defibrillator finder service to find out more.
