St John Ambulance

St John Ambulance welcomes the Mayor of London's commitment to install 200 new defibrillators across London. #RestartAHeartDay   Every year in the UK, over 40,000 people suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, with less than 1 in 10 people surviving. During a cardiac arrest, every second counts. That’s why St John is supporting the roll out first aid education and equipment across the capital through our young responders and first aid training programs, and by supplying defibrillators, PAcT and first aid kits to strengthen public access to lifesaving skills and equipment.    We urge guardians of defibrillators across London to register these lifesaving devices onto the Circuit Defibrillator Network to connect them to emergency services to empower community response, improve outcomes and save lives.

A defibrillator gives a jolt of electricity to the heart. It can help get the heart beating normally again. When used effectively on someone in cardiac arrest, it can increase survival rates by 50-70%. The problem? Not everyone has ready access to a defibrillator in an emergency. That's why St John Ambulance has developed the HEART One and Two defibrillators - the reliable, affordable choice for workplaces, schools, and communities.
