How one defibrillator saved two runners' lives
The same defibrillator that was registered on The Circuit helped to save Malcolm and Stephen, just weeks a part.
Defibrillator Guardian, Rebecca, shares “When I found out that our defibrillator had saved two men’s lives, it was overwhelming and quite emotional. Had the defibrillator not been available to the public and registered on The Circuit, then these two men may have lost their lives."
Putting defibrillators on the map
Here we highlight some key figures around out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and defibrillator use in the UK:
-
40,000+ out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen each year
-
1 in 10 fewer than 1 in 10 people survive
-
110,000+ defibrillators are registered on The Circuit
