British Heart Foundation - Defibrillator Programme
Details
The British Heart Foundation is giving out a limited number of free defibrillators to community groups in the UK. To be eligible for a free, BHF-funded defibrillator, you must:
- keep the defibrillator in the provided cabinet, unlocked and uncoded so that it’s accessible to the public 24 hours a day
- make sure that the cabinet has a constant electricity supply so that the defibrillator stays at the right temperature in cold weather and is visible in the dark
- have a clear need for the device (for example, be in a busy location, or where a public access defibrillator (PAD) is not within 200 metres)
- have authorisation from the property owner to install the defibrillator
- register the defibrillator on The Circuit (the national defibrillator network) within 4 weeks of installation
- be committed to promoting BHF’s free online RevivR CPR training in your community with the resources provided.
