Defibrillators in the Community

Public access defibrillators are becoming a welcome addition to many towns, cities, and local communities - we have even installed on outside our office in Leatherhead!

This page contains useful links and resources for anyone who has either already purchased or received a donated defibrillator, or who may be looking to obtain one for their local community.
