Fund a national database and app for the location of all defibrillators

Petition Details

I would like it to be compulsory to register all Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) on a single Government-funded national database, accessible through a free app.

Additional Information

This would allow members of the public access to the location of an AED in case of an emergency. Currently this information is not always available.

If you suffer a cardiac arrest in the street across Britain you only have roughly a 10 % chance of survival and yet in hospital it is nearer 95%. One reason for this is the access to AED machines to help get the heart started and reset its rhythm, in hospital there is easy access to this and yet out in the street it is hard to know where a AED is located. Some databases do exist on a voluntary basis however a single mandatory database would bring all this information together in one place.
