Defibrillators for Schools

From the end of the academic year 2022/2023, schools are required to have at least one defibrillator on their premises. All of the AEDs in this section comply with the Department for Education's requirements for school defibrillators and come with a 10 year warranty for added peace of mind.

Statistics show that treating a patient with a defibrillator within 5 minutes of having a cardiac arrest increases their survival chance by over 40%. Having an AED with both adult and paediatric electrode pads located on the school premises means swift action can be taken if a pupil, staff member or member of the public should suffer sudden cardiac arrest.

All of our defibrillator bundles for schools have the option to add an indoor or outdoor cabinet. There are currently no requirements for how the AED should be stored but considering the options is important as quick access is essential. A cabinet makes the defibrillator easy to locate in an emergency and provides more protection. Storing the defibrillator outside could be beneficial for use by the wider community and in this case, a heated outdoor cabinet would be required.

The Defib Pad offers the widest choice of defibrillators found online, all at discounted prices and available on 30 day payment terms for schools. The Defib Pad is also the ONLY retailer to offer free delivery, and free replacement electrode pads after use as standard. You won't find a better deal elsewhere.
