How to Find an AED When Every Second Counts
In a sudden cardiac arrest emergency, using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) within the first 3 to 5 minutes can dramatically increase the survival rate. Defibrillators are public access life-saving devices that any bystander can use.
Our finder uses your live GPS location to scan the UK's National Defibrillator Network (The Circuit) and instantly map the closest public access AEDs within walking distance. Always call 999 immediately - the operator can also give you the access code if the cabinet is locked.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AED location map?
An AED locations map shows the exact physical locations of all registered public access defibrillators in your community. These are often mounted on the outside walls of schools, sports clubs, pubs, disused phone boxes, and supermarkets.
Do I need training to use a defib finder and an AED?
No training is required. Once you locate the closest AED using our defib finder, you simply turn the machine on. The defibrillator will give you clear, step-by-step voice instructions, and it will only administer a shock if it detects that the patient's heart rhythm requires one. You cannot accidentally shock someone who does not need it.
Why is the defibrillator cabinet locked?
Some public access defibrillators are kept in locked cabinets to prevent theft or vandalism. If you find a locked cabinet during an emergency, dial 999. The ambulance dispatcher will give you the keypad code to open the box immediately.
