SERVICE DETAILS
Every week in Scotland, around 70 people have a cardiac arrest at home, work or in a public place.
Starting CPR as soon as possible will give the person the best chance of survival, but being able to use defibrillator within the first few minutes of collapse increases that chance even further.
That’s why we’re working with communities across Scotland to increase the availability of Public Access Defibrillators.
Through our Community Defibrillator Scheme we will:
- Work with you to establish the best location for a defibrillator in your local area
- Set you a fundraising target of £1,000 for a defibrillator and external storage cabinet, and we will cover the remaining costs
- Offer advice and support around installation
- Offer free CPR and defibrillator training in the community after installation.
