A Lifesaving Move for Community Safety

By installing a defibrillator in a visible and accessible location, Kent Family Medical have demonstrated their proactive approach to emergency preparedness. Sudden cardiac arrest can affect anyone, anywhere, at any time. Having a defibrillator close by and ready to use significantly improves a person’s chance of survival.

The Mediana A15 is one of the most trusted models in the UK for public and professional environments. This fully automatic defibrillator delivers clear voice prompts, CPR guidance, and a semi-automatic shock delivery. It’s simple to use and requires minimal training, making it ideal for high-footfall settings such as GP practices, health centres, and public-facing organisations.

Setting an Example in Primary Care

Kent Family Medical’s decision to register as a Heart Safe Location shows they’re going beyond standard healthcare provision. While they already offer excellent care to their patients, this added layer of emergency readiness proves their dedication to community wellbeing.

They’re setting an example to other GP surgeries, clinics, and local businesses by showing how easy and impactful it is to be defibrillator ready. Their decision also supports national efforts to increase the visibility and availability of public access defibrillators across the UK.

Why Heart Safe Locations Matter

We created the Heart Safe Location scheme to celebrate and showcase organisations that go the extra mile to protect the people around them. Defibrillators are not just for hospitals – they belong in everyday spaces like schools, pharmacies, workplaces, and medical practices.

When a defibrillator is registered, publicly accessible, and placed in a prominent location, it can be the key to saving a life during a cardiac emergency. Every minute counts, and Kent Family Medical have now given their community a much better chance of survival when it matters most.
