Our Team support around 50 Defibrillators across South Warwickshire – from Southam, to Long Marston, from Wellesbourne to Ettington and anywhere in between. From July 2025, we launched a trial of our new Community Defibrillator management project, offering to support a select number of villages with end-to-end management of their community defibrillators, enabling communities to work closely with our team to maintain their vital, life saving resource.
So, how does it work?
We are offering to work with communities, in most cases Parish Councils, shops, schools and other organisations to manage their Community Public Access Defibrillator on their behalf, in return for a subscription fee of £100 per cabinet, our team will:
- Complete monthly compliance checks on the cabinet and the defibrillator
- Keep the cabinets clean and ‘Rescue Ready’
- Provide replacement pads and batteries
- Install a sticker on the cabinet that gives information about the cabinet and who to contact with an issues and provide training to the community too!
In addition, this may also include clinical testing & calibration on an annual basis if appropriate.
Please note: We are currently only offering to manage Kineton, Ettington & Wellesbourne based defibrillators to allow us the time to test the viability of our management project to ensure we have the resources and offer the quality for expansion. However you can register you interest by dropping an email to the address below.
