Yatton Rugby own and maintain a public accessible defib at their club.  

All the listed defibrillators are registered with a central organisation allied to all the ambulance services in the country called ‘The Circuit’.

Defibrillators can only be accessed via the 999 ambulance service who, if appropriate, will issue the access code and ask the 999 caller to collect the nearest defibrillator. However the collapsed person must never be left in order to collect a defibrillator unless someone can remain with the patient and perform CPR. The Ambulance Service will give instructions on how to use the defibrillator and to perform CPR although the device itself also issues instructions on how it is to be used.
