Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs)
The use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) is recognised as highly beneficial in helping those who have suffered cardiac arrest, and it is estimated that 90-95% of cardiac arrests are fatal unless someone acts quickly. Think CPR, then raise the alarm and then think "where is the nearest defibrillator?" Research has shown that every minute without defibrillation reduces the chance of someone surviving an arrest by 10%.
Whilst our first aiders are all trained in the use of AEDs, there is no need for specific training: anyone can use a AED and there is no risk of hurting someone should a AED need to be used by someone who has not been trained.
Please watch Ben's Story to see how effective an AED can be, even in the hands of a relative novice.
There are over 45 AED's at the University of Warwick and the details of their location is available below. The interactive map can also be used to view your nearest AED locations https://campus.warwick.ac.uk/
If you require access to an AED located inside a secure box where a keycode is required please contact the Community Safety Team for the code on internal 22222 or external 024 76522222.
The Health and Safety Department manage the University's AEDs, with the help of; the Community Safety Team, Zone Managers, responsible nominated people in each area as well as first aiders.
All AEDs are registered on 'The Circuit' – the national defibrillator network, connects defibrillators to NHS ambulance services across the UK so that in those crucial moments after a cardiac arrest, they can be accessed quickly to help save lives.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact health and safety training mailboxLink opens in a new window
