There are many makes and models of defibrillators to choose from. All provide the only effective way of increasing the odds in your favour if you have a Cardiac Arrest. We hope the information we offer will help you with the planning of your purchase.
The goal of AED Locator is to encourage every community to have their own Public Access Defibrillator (PAD). The knowledge and information obtained over the last 3 years from the initiative that we started in the Chew Valley (a rural area of North Somerset) has helped communities, institutions, offices and businesses to protect their loved ones, neighbours, friends, employees and people of all ages. The people living and working in this rural location now have access to a PAD thereby safeguarding them against the risk that the Emergency Services may take more time to arrive than the precious few minutes that you have to restart the heart after a Cardiac Arrest has occurred.
There is a wide choice of defibrillator cabinets but few proven external cabinets!
The latest HeartSafe™ Cabinet has been designed after many years of testing and practical use in various locations and different types of communities.

Go Live.…. Locate and install your Public Access Defibrillator in your community!
Install the AED and cabinet at the most visible location in your community. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require advice on the best location for your life saving equipment. Some useful information to consider:
Ensure your policies and practices for the safe and efficient operation of the project are in place and ready to use.
Remember to include signage as part of your installation. An overhanging sign is recommended above the cabinet to increase visibility of the placement. Signage could be placed around the locality identifying the location and distance to the cabinet, for example posters in shop windows.
You will need to work in partnership with your local NHS Ambulance Service from the outset of deciding to position a Public Access Defibrillator in your community. You will need to provide confirmation of the exact placement/location address, including postcode. They will need to ensure they have your unit recorded in their Emergency Services' 999 Control Room so they are ready to provide callers with the Access Code to the secure cabinet.
The following NHS Ambulance Services support the initiative to have Public Access Defibrillators in communities:

If you require assistance please contact us.
As part of our national campaign, we aim to improve the mapping of AEDs throughout the UK and Europe so that placements are recorded and monitored. By using the AED Locator website, you can upload information about your AED and its location. For further information about this please email enquiries@aedlocator.org
Once your life saving equipment is available to the public giving protection each minute of every hour of each day of the year, you will have been responsible for establishing a HeartSafe™ Community!
