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

    • Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.
