"A defibrillator brought me back to life": New map of defibrillators launches today

CWR Breakfast with Phil Upton

Available for over a year

Defibrillators are placed all around the country, everywhere from supermarkets to railway stations. They're crucial in getting help fast and the use of a defibrillator before an ambulance arrives can be the difference between life and death. But, the exact location of only 30% of all UK defibrillators are known to ambulance services. Now ambulance trusts and the British Heart Foundation have created a database called 'The Circuit' to track where the devices are, and they need our help to map them all. 麻豆社 CWR's Richard Williams went to meet Ripon Danis from Leamington, who was brought back to life by one.
