NHS England is working with partners to improve community first response and establish defibrillator networks in England, including in South West London, to improve outcomes from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The Government encourages communities and organisations in England to consider purchasing a defibrillator as part of first aid equipment, particularly in locations with high concentrations of people.
