UK Defibrillator Post Code Issues

• Recoded location far from Postcode Centroid
• Recorded location coincides with postcode centroid

Recorded location far from Postcode Centroid

Found 298 AEDs with a location in The Circuit that is further than 1500m from the centroid of the given postcode. This is suggestive of an error in either the location or the postcode. However, discrepancies could also be caused by postcodes that cover a large geographic area. This is particularly likely with smaller distances and in remote rural locations.

Recorded location coincides with postcode centroid

Found 2670 AEDs with a location in The Circuit that is less than 1m from the centroid of the given postcode. This suggests that the AED guardian has not updated the location from the initial suggestion based on the postcode entered, in which case the location may be slightly off.
