Apply for a community public access defibrillator
Apply for a Welsh Government-funded defibrillator to improve community access to defibrillators and boost out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates in Wales.
Who can apply
A defibrillator will (numbers allowing) be allocated to a community once they are able to confirm that they:
• identified with rationale the best place to site a defibrillator (there is currently no defibrillator within 500m of the proposed site)
• have purchased or fundraised for a heated defibrillator cabinet and it has been installed on an external wall in an area which is accessible 24/7
• have an electricity supply so that the defibrillator is maintained at the right temperature, to prevent the battery and pads from deteriorating
• ensure the defibrillator will be available for public use 24/7
• register the defibrillator on The Circuit database
• appoint a defibrillator guardian (for regular maintenance)
• have a backup guardian to cover absence
• ensure they hold awareness sessions for individuals involved in the organisation/group on CPR/defibrillation skills
