Familiarise Yourself with Local Defibrillators

If you ever find you need one, you can save valuable seconds by knowing roughly where they are. Then you can start running immediately and phone 999 on your way. With 80% of incidents happening at home or at work, please take a few minutes to memorise your closest locations, if not all of them.

To Find a defibrillator

Emergency? Phone 999

The operator will tell you where the nearest one is.

They also know which ones are working and not already in use by someone else.

How to use a defibrillator

The Lions' defibrillators are housed in special cabinets in convenient places. The cabinets are locked, and you need an access code to open them.

The 999 operator will tell you where the nearest one is, and give you the code to unlock it.

The equipment is "fail safe" and easy to operate.

When you switch it on it speaks, giving verbal instructions as you go. What's more, it checks for a heartbeat before it'll start, and instructs your CPR efforts, too.
