The Government is currently considering ways in which it can improve access to automatic external defibrillators (AEDs). Organisations in England are encouraged to consider purchasing a defibrillator in first-aid equipment, particularly for places where there are high concentrations of people. With growing public awareness and acceptance of AEDs, many community defibrillators have since been provided in public locations through national lottery funding, community fundraising schemes, workplace funding or by charities.
