Throughout December, I’ll be sharing daily mini-tips about AEDs — where to find them, how to use them, and the small things everyone should know.
Because the more confident we feel, the more lives we can save. 💚
Let’s make December a month of safety, confidence, and community.

**2nd December – AED Location**
📍 *Southcott Village Residents Association*
Community Centre, Grasmere Way, Linslade, LU7 2PJ

Today’s AED is located to the right of Southcott Village Residents Association community hall in Linslade, Leighton Buzzard.

You do not need any training to use a defibrillator, AEDs are made so EVERYONE can use them. Open the case- switch it on and AED will talk you through what you need to do.

In 2024, defibrillators were used by members of the public in only 9% of cardiac arrests. (RCUK).
Let's increase that percentage by familiarising ourselves with AEDs

**1st December – AED Location**
📍 *Multi-Storey Car Park, West Street*
West Street Public Conveniences Multi-Storey Car Park,
West Street, Leighton Buzzard, LU7 1DH

Today’s AED is located just outside the Multi-Storey Car Park in Leighton Buzzard.

In an emergency, when you call 999 or 112, the call handlers can direct you to the nearest AED using a system called **The Circuit**.
The Circuit — the national defibrillator network — provides NHS ambulance services with up-to-date information about AEDs across the UK so they can be found quickly when every second counts.
This relies on everyone who owns or manages an AED registering it on The Circuit.

🟢 Button batteries: The tiny risk with big consequences 🟢
With Christmas just around the corner, many of us are stocking up on toys and festive bits for the kids. It’s the perfect time to shine a light on a hidden household danger that many parents don’t even realise is there - button batteries. They’re tiny, they’re common, and they’re found in all sorts of kids toys and everyday items around the home. And the injuries they can cause are severe and happen frighteningly fast. We speak to Hollie, whose little boy Ralphie almost lost his life after swallowing a button battery. This is one danger that’s really worth knowing about.

When you think of household hazards, things like cleaning products, sharp corners, or hot pans probably spring to mind. But there’s anot...
