We’re on a mission to ensure local AED (Automated External Defibrillator) information is accurate and up to date.
Our goal is to help you regularly check and maintain your AED so that, if it’s ever needed, our 111 Operations Team can confidently direct a first responder, GoodSAM volunteer, or bystander to your device knowing it’s fully operational.
If you’d like support, get in touch and request our “Check Your AED” information pack. Email [email protected]
