If the device has been registered on ‘The Circuit’ the ambulance service for your area will advise you of your nearest, accessible, one.

In our region, West Midlands, over 2700 public access defibrillators are known to not be registered meaning West Midlands Ambulance Service won’t be able to tell you where they are.
