Development of a centralised national AED (automated external defibrillator) network across all ambulance services in the United Kingdom
The Circuit provides ambulance services with a single point of access to AED locations in the UK. Since the launch of the system the number of defibrillators registered has doubled. Linking the Circuit data with patient outcome data will help understand whether improving the accessibility to AEDs is associated with increased survival.
