A new online mapping system provides a national overview of where defibrillators can be found.

The Isle of Man's fight against sudden cardiac arrest has stepped up a notch with the launch of an online map showing the location of defibrillators.

The interactive mapping system has been developed in partnership between Manx Care, Craig's Heartstrong Foundation, St John Ambulance IOM, Rushen Emergency Ambulance and the Manx Heart Foundation.

It means members of the public can find their nearest defibrillator in the event of an emergency.

Devices not registered on the system can be listed and shared to make them identifiable and publicly accessible.
