This week we're talking about the importance of registering AEDs on The Circuit.
🎥 Watch as we talk to Call Assessor Jade about how our Call Assessors use The Circuit to advise callers in locating the nearest AED in a cardiac arrest incident.

This is why community defibrillators are so important-
Recently we met Peter and Melissa to hear how in 2019, Melissa saved Peter's life after he experienced an out of hospital cardiac arrest
They hope by sharing their story they'll encourage the registration of AEDs on The Circuit

This is so important, if you’re defibrillator is registered the Ambulance Service know it’s there and can direct the caller to it. Please check/register your defibrillator with the Circuit.
Today we’re launching our #LetUsSeeYourAED campaign encouraging the registration of AEDs (defibrillators) on The Circuit.
Keep an 👀 out on our social media this week as we highlight the importance of AED registration.

A massive thank you Andy for all that you have done. You truly have made Community Response what it is today. Enjoy the quiet life.
After an incredible 37 years in the ambulance service, we’re saying farewell to Community Response Manager, Andy Jeynes.
Current and former colleagues gathered at Hollymoor earlier this week for a big send off and to celebrate his retirement - you’ll be missed, Andy! 💚🚑

If your #cpad site is not registered on "The Circuit" it will not be used in an emergency!
Our #volunteer is checking and confirming its "rescue ready" after a deployment over night @OFFICIALWMAS @Mayor_RoyalSC @suttonfunrun @AndrewmitchMP
#Sunday morning at @TheBHF "The Circuit" alert that the defib "may have been used"
Its been out of its warm enclosure but not used, so "the circuit" is updated and the #CPAD site is ready to go again!
