Forest Hill Road Group Practice has one, you'd hope that other surgeries do as well.


In terms of a list, I think The London Ambulance Service has a list of registered AED's.


It is not only having one, but the cost of their sitting, ongoing maintenance and charging so AED's are always serviceable when needed to be used.

Readers who want to read this file are going to need remote access to the machine you've downloaded it to. A link to https://www.mynewsdesk.com/uk/govia-thameslink-railway/documents/list-of-stations-with-life-saving-defibrillators-dot-pdf-415918, which follows on from https://www.mynewsdesk.com/uk/govia-thameslink-railway/pressreleases/great-northern-southern-and-thameslink-fit-life-saving-defibrillators-to-every-one-of-their-stations-3136338, is easier.


According to the 2018 thread https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1971318,1971642#msg-1971642 there were then AEDs at Fusion gym and at least Goodrich school. I've also found in the Alleyn's Junior School Medical First Aid Policy pdf that they have four AEDs, including one at Reception (Main Building, Senior School), and several trained users, and are on the LAS accredited list (described at https://www.londonambulance.nhs.uk/getting-involved/london-ambulance-service-defibrillator-accreditation-scheme/).

Shame there isn't an old red phone box - that would be perfect


But for how long? I believe phone boxes are powered from the local exchanges (as is the 'first' phone in the house if hard-wired) - hence 999 calls can be made from fixed lines when there is otherwise a power outtage. However, in the move to VOIP telephony (packet switching) - which BT is implementing - the old style exchange powered lines (PSTN) will stop. When this happens the power feed to old telephone boxes will also stop. So keeping defibrillators charged up will also cease, if they are housed in Telephone boxes. Very happy to stand corrected on this, of course.

I don't think there are any red boxes in LL anyway, but public AEDs are not left on charge, but do contain either a chargeable or non-chargeable battery. Designed that way so a member of the public isn't fiddling around disconnecting it from a source - just grabbing a bag.


Hospital based ones tend to be always charging for obvious reasons and are mainly AEDs but more adaptable ones exist for specialist use in cardiac diagnostics and therapy.


Anyway - thank you Monica for looking into this, it is very publicly spirited and may contribute to lives saved.

Hi heartblock

    • Apparently there was a motorcade on Lordship lane about 40 mins ago. Did anyone see it? Two blacked out 4X4, with police convoy. I'm intrigued...
    • Harrow.  I wish that I had done more before Covid, including putting my name forward as an executor and seeking power of attorney.  I performed the latter for my later mother, and with no executor named in her will I did probate and executed her will, all very straightforward as financial affairs all in order particularly due to the work of my sister who managed our mother's accounts. But from 2020 onward it was difficult to tell someone who was very frail she needed to change her will etc. There's a further tail about the 'friend' of my aunt who gets around 90% of the estate, and some manipulation of my aunt's finances by this friend.  Police wont get out of bed for a million or so for fraud cases so didn't go to them.
    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
