Community defibrillators, also known as public access defibrillators (PADs), are life-saving devices strategically placed in easily accessible locations throughout neighbourhoods, villages, and towns. These vital pieces of equipment are designed to be used by members of the public in the event of a cardiac emergency, providing crucial intervention before professional medical help arrives.
These user-friendly devices are typically housed in conspicuous cabinets and are available 24/7, ensuring that anyone can access them when needed. Community defibrillators play a pivotal role in improving survival rates for sudden cardiac arrest victims by enabling bystanders to deliver potentially life-saving shocks within the critical first few minutes of an incident.
By fostering a sense of shared responsibility and preparedness, community defibrillators not only save lives but also strengthen the bonds within local areas, creating safer and more resilient communities.

No, you don’t need medical training to use a community defibrillator. Our devices feature a user-friendly interface with clear, step-by-step instructions that guide users through the process. This ensures that even those without medical training can provide assistance confidently in an emergency situation.
Community defibrillators should be placed in strategic, easily accessible locations such as community centres, local sports clubs, places of worship, libraries, museums, shopping areas, schools, nurseries, and residential complexes. The key is to ensure they are available 24/7 and in areas where they can serve a wide range of community members.
