These are intended for people that are suffering a cardiac arrest (most easily seen because the person will collapse and is unconscious, is not breathing regularly - there may be 'agonal gasps' for a short while - and will go pale and bluish). Immediately call 999 to get the ambulance on its way, shout for anyone around to come and help you, and start CPR - the CPR keeps the blood and oxygen circulating until the person's heart can do it itself again. Public Access Defibrillators (24/7) are located as follows. They are in number locked and alarmed cabinets and mostly covered by CCTV. We are currently in the process of updating the cabinets, which also means the removal of the green break glass code boxes. The code to enter the new defib cabinets will be advised from the call taker when you call 999 and ask for the Ambulance Service, should they judge that the patient might benefit from having a defib available.
