It was suggested that trying to increase our mapping of public<br>
Defibrillators would be a good think. After a bit of digging, it seems<br>
that Ambulance Services typically maintain a list of locations, with a<br>
view to informing people about them if a 999 call comes in nearby<br>
where one might be useful.<br>
<br>
The different services seem to take quite different views on these<br>
lists. My local service (East of England) actively publicise their<br>
list (<a href="http://www.eastamb.nhs.uk/Get-involved/Community-Public-Access-Defibrillators.htm" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.eastamb.nhs.uk/Get-involved/Community-Public-Access-Defibrillators.htm</a>)<br>
on the grounds that raising awareness of the locations will make it<br>
more likely that someone will know about and find a defibrillator in<br>
an emergency. Other services have refused FOI requests on the (IMO<br>
spurious) grounds that publicising the list will make thefts /<br>
vandalism more likely, and out of date information may lead to people<br>
wasting time in an emergency.<br>
<br>
Anyway, I've taken the East of England list from<br>
<a href="http://www.eastamb.nhs.uk/Get%20involved/CPADs/CPAD%20List.pdf" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.eastamb.nhs.uk/Get%20involved/CPADs/CPAD%20List.pdf</a> , and<br>
done a comparison with the OSM data. A rough and ready tool can be<br>
found at <a href="http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/defib/progress/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/defib/progress/</a> for any other<br>
locals who want to use it. We've got a small number of locations they<br>
haven't, and some of their postcodes may not be quite right. But there<br>
are a lot on their list that aren't mapped yet!<br>
<br>
Regarding tagging, it seems that a lot of the cabinets have a<br>
reference number on the outside, so I'd suggest recording that in the<br>
ref=* tag. Also, I think a description of the location would be useful<br>
(e.g. "Outside wall of McDonalds, facing Store 21") to help people<br>
find the defibrillator when they need it. I've been putting something<br>
like that in a location=* key.<br>
<br>
In terms of getting more data, I've put in FOI requests to the East<br>
and West Midlands Ambulance Services for starters, so we'll see what<br>
line they take...<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
