Since 2023, all state-funded schools in the UK have been supplied with defibrillators; however, at Concept Hygiene, we aim to ensure that all educational institutions, including secondary schools, universities, colleges, and sports halls, also receive them.
According to SADS UK, approximately 270 cardiac arrests occur in UK schools and colleges each year, so your premises must have easy access to an automated external defibrillator (AED).
To give people improved survival chances in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), you should ensure there’s a defibrillator on the premises. The life-saving equipment can increase the chances of survival from 6% to 74% if used quickly.
If there is no defibrillator nearby and the victim is not treated quickly enough, there is a 90-95% chance they will die.
We’re committed to ensuring as many educational institutions as possible in the UK have accessible defibrillators. While all state-funded primary and secondary schools in the UK have a defibrillator, double-check to make sure your premises have the right equipment. If you don’t have a defibrillator, you can purchase a Zoll defibrillator from us or sign up for our defibrillator service package, which includes ongoing support, installation, aftercare, and product support.
A defibrillator is a piece of emergency equipment that sends an electric shock to the heart to restore a normal heartbeat in the event of a cardiac arrest. Defibrillators can correct uneven heartbeats or a heart that’s beating too slow or too fast.
Every second is precious when it comes to saving a person’s life during a cardiac arrest. That’s why we’re committed to ensuring defibrillators are widely available in independent schools, colleges, universities, and more.
With our help, you can make sure your educational premises are safe for staff, pupils, and visitors in the event of a cardiac arrest.
A Zoll defibrillator from Concept Hygiene is essential to raising the survival rate if someone has a heart attack.

There are many benefits to having defibrillators in educational settings. The obvious is that it improves the survival rate for people suffering from a cardiac arrest. If somebody is left without treatment, there is a 90-95% chance that they’ll die.
However, survival rates increase from 6% to 74% if a defibrillator is used within the first five minutes of a cardiac arrest.
Given that the average response time for an ambulance in the UK for life-threatening situations is just under 10 minutes, this shows the importance of having a defibrillator to hand in an emergency.

Case Studies & Latest News
No, at present, there is no legal requirement from the UK government to have defibrillators installed in schools. However, the Department of Education committed to ensuring all state-funded schools had one installed. By the end of the 2022/23 school year, around 20,000 defibrillators were installed in schools. In terms of higher education settings, like universities and colleges, there also isn't a law requiring the installation of defibrillators. There is, however, an expectation to have them installed to comply with the duty of care requirements. All UK employers have a legal obligation under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to ensure the safety of their staff, students, and visitors, and this would likely include a defibrillator being accessible on-site.
A PAD is a Public Access Defibrillator. These defibrillators are the same as AEDs but are designed for public use and are typically found in remote areas that are hard to reach for emergency services, like along nature trails.
