The Circuit is the national defibrillator network that maps the location of public access defibrillators and provides this data to ambulance service control centres so that their whereabouts are known in an emergency. It is essential that everyone who owns a defibrillator intended for public use registers their device on The Circuit, as this enables ambulance call handlers to direct people to the nearest defibrillator. There are other advantages, such as The Circuit sending out regular reminders about the upkeep and maintenance of the defibrillator. Further information is available at www.thecircuit.uk.
