Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, regardless of age and fitness level. There are no outward signs, no warning, and no chance of survival without a defibrillator. CPR alone is not enough to save a person’s life and for every minute lost without using a defibrillator, a person’s chance of survival drops by 10% – that’s just 10 minutes to save a life. The recommended time for an Ambulance to reach a patient is 7 minutes, the reality is that this can be considerably longer if there are traffic hold-ups, or the location is difficult to access. Can you take that risk?
The iPAD SP1 is used by the Emergency services across the country and this life-saving device has the support of the British Heart Foundation because it is designed for use by anyone, trained or not.
COMMUNITY ACCESS DEFIBRILLATORS
Having an accessible Community Public Access Defibrillator in your community helps save lives! As it is reported that 80% of all out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in the home, it is vitally important that defibrillators are accessible to everyone. WEL Medical has been privileged over the years to work with a large number of philanthropic and charitable organisations across the whole of the UK and Ireland.

THE CIRCUIT by The British Heart Foundation
The moment someone has a cardiac arrest, the clock starts ticking. Every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces their chances of survival. But many defibrillators are never used because emergency services don’t know where they are or how to access them. This is where The Circuit comes in. The Circuit – the national defibrillator network, provides the NHS ambulance services with vital information about defibrillators across the UK so that in those crucial moments after a cardiac arrest, they can be accessed quickly to help save lives.
