Placing a PAD is as simple as 1, 2, 3…
- Source a PAD – Defibrillators are available from various manufacturers. A basic one will do the job. See the links below if you need more information about how you can fund a defibrillator for your community.
- Choose a location for your PAD – It’s important to place your PAD where it will be most useful. This is usually on the outside of a building in an unlocked, heated cabinet. PADmap will help you find the best place in your local community to install your defib.
- Looking after your PAD – Register your PAD on the Circuit: the National Defibrillator Network. This will make sure the ambulance service can direct bystanders to it in an emergency. Your PAD will need you to visit it every now and then to check it’s in working order. To find out more about registering and looking after your defib see the links below.
