Register your Defibrillator with the National Ambulance Service

Once your defibrillator is registered the NAS Emergency Call Takers / Dispatcher may notify people about its location in the event of it being identified as being nearby during an appropriate 999 / 112 call.

Your defibrillator is not registered until you receive a confirmation email that it has been added to the system.
This can take a number of weeks.

N.B. The National Ambulance Service is NOT responsible for the Maintenance, Registration or Deployment of defibrillator’s. The care and aftercare of defibrillator’s is the sole responsibility of the Scheme Organisation/Owner.
