Community Public Access Defibrillator (cPAD) Guidance

Once a cPAD has been checked and is available to use, it is registered as readily available on 'The Circuit'. The Circuit is then accessed by the North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) dispatcher at the time of an emergency, who can view the live map of readily available defibrillators and cPADs at that point in time and this map is not accessible to the public. A list of all the defibrillators registered on The Circuit can be found on the British Heart Foundation website. This data is not to be used to create a map for the public. 

To give an indication of the location of the nearest cPAD to any given postcode, NEAS recommend using the Defib finder website. However, the information on this website is not exhaustive, and only the NEAS operator can access information on your closest available cPAD at a given time, in an emergency.
