We’re running an important survey to understand people’s views on defibrillators. It takes just 10 minutes, and your feedback will help us make these lifesaving devices more widely available across the UK. bhf.questionpro.eu/Defibs2025?sourc…

In some areas of the UK, the nearest 24/7 accessible defibrillator is over 10 minutes away. Each minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces the chance of surviving an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest by up to 10%. 1/3
