Did you know that your nearest defibrillator should be within a 3-minute return walk?

What is an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)? 

A defibrillator, or AED (automated external defibrillator), is a life-saving device that delivers a shock to a patient in cardiac arrest, helping to restore normal heart rhythm.

Why is it important to have easy access to a defibrillator?

In the event of cardiac arrest, every second counts. Every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces a person’s chances of survival by around 10% and the risk of permanent brain damage increases.

Early CPR and defibrillation saves lives.
