<div dir="auto"><div>Looks like '<a href="http://thecircuit.uk">thecircuit.uk</a>' needs the following when registering a defibrillator.

The project is called "The Circuit". Prior to this the information was broken up, incomplete, and split between several different organizations.<br><br>This Circuit may have received data from other databases, but it appears much of the data is newly created. Defibrillator data is added by the owner(s) of the defibrillator, which are commonly local community organisations. There are major issues with mapping the location of defibrillators. Location data appears to be created through standard UK addresses. But many defibrillators have been put in locations without addresses (old telephone boxes), or are located using postcode data which can place the
defibrillator 100's of meters from its actual location.<br><br>The BBC article is about a partial solution to the location issue. Public Sector organisations can get free access to Ordnance Surveys databases, which could be used to improve mapping data. But, The Circuit is not an official Public Sector organisation. So... Ordnance Survey accepted a work around where the East Midlands Ambulance Service will legally access the data on behalf of The Circuit. The result is that The Circuit can now access OS data to allocate a UPRN to each address. This should provide more accurate locations, and objects such as disused telephone boxes should have a UPRN.<br><br>The BBC news release also brings up and discusses the need for defibrillator owners to register their defibrillators with The Circuit. The "elephant in the room". From my local experience, there are more missing from the database than there are wrongly located.<br><br>Below is a link to the OS press release.</div><div><a href="https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/newsroom/news/british-heart-foundation-database-defibrillators" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/newsroom/news/british-heart-foundation-database-defibrillators</a><br><br><br></div><div>Jass</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, 1 Jul 2022 at 13:10, Andy Mabbett <<a href="mailto:andy@pigsonthewing.org.uk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">andy@pigsonthewing.org.uk</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">BBC News: "Ambulance services are appealing for the public's help to<br>
