Community Public Access Defibrillator (cPAD) Guidance

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council are responsible for the upkeep of 3 cPADs, located at:

• Stockton Central library
• Stockton High Street (between Shambles and Ramsgate) on the lighting column
• The Security Centre
• Millbeck Care Home - as part of a historical agreement, Public Health are also responsible for funding replacement consumables for the defibrillator at Millbeck Care Home, though Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council are not the registered Guardians for this cPAD

The Guardians for these defibrillators are the Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council Community Safety and Community Protection team, who check these weekly and report to NEAS, and are responsible for ordering replacement consumables such as batteries and pads when needed. Maintenance costs for consumables are covered by Public Health, which hold a small budget for supporting the purchase and maintenance of defibrillators in defined areas of need.

To enquire about funding replacement pads and batteries for Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council owned defibrillators or those in areas of high priority, please contact Public Health at Public.HealthTeam@stockton.gov.uk.
