AED & Equipment Info
Gareth Jenkin started AED Locations after teaching thousands of people how to use CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) and AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators). During training sessions, he was often asked about AED locations. He knew that there were a lot of publicly available AEDs, but realised that they were worthless if people didn’t know where they were.
People were dying within 50 metres of an AED because no one knew it was there.
Publishing AED locations online would make it easier to find them in an emergency, but Gareth lacked the money and the technological know-how to make it happen. After The Listener ran a story on heart attacks and AEDs, Abletech approached Gareth to help.
An AED can increase someone’s chance of survival by up to 80% if applied immediately.
Over 9,000 locations are now mapped on this website and the Android and iPhone apps.

Testimonial
In 2017 we required adrenaline training for 30 of our workers. After a short period of looking for a suitable training provider, we decided that Resus Nelson would meet our adrenaline training needs. Resus Nelson provided us with solid, relevant training that was specific to our work in the forestry industry. Natalie and Rosie were knowledgeable, friendly, able to relate to our workers and quickly put us at ease while they taught us how to identify anaphylaxis shock and what we needed to do to treat it. Natalie and Rosie were willing and able to help whenever we needed it and I am confident in recommending Resus Nelson to any company needing up-to-date adrenaline training for their business.- Joyanna Winn, Nigel Bryant Limited
