Register Your Defibrillator

Making sure your defibrillator is registered will mean it can easily be located if it is needed, and more accessible to the local community. If your defibrillator isn’t registered the ambulance service can’t see it when 999 is called in the ultimate medical emergency – when every second counts.

Please check if your defibrillator is registered on DefibFinder. 

If it is not registered, please register the defibrillator on The Circuit.

Registering your defibrillator is free and takes less than 5 minutes. It could make a lifesaving difference. Lives in your local community can be saved by a school defibrillator that is registered on The Circuit. 

Why is it important to register?

Each year, over 30,000 people have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The survival rate for an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is less than 1 in 10. 

Every minute without CPR and defibrillation can reduce the chance of survival by up to 10%.

The Circuit provides emergency call handlers with visibility of the nearest defibrillator when 999 is called. If a defibrillator isn’t registered on The Circuit the ambulance service can’t see it.

The registration of a school defibrillator could make the difference.

Defibrillators can be registered for the hours and periods that they are available.

It is recommended that defibrillators are placed outside in unlocked cabinets available 24/7 where possible. However, defibrillators can be registered for the hours and periods that they are available, for example school hours in term time – it could still make the difference for someone and their loved ones.
