About the PAD Program

Public Access Defibrillation (PAD) is a program of the Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region.

The program builds partnerships with local organizations and businesses in locations that have been identified as being at high risk of having someone experience Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

The PAD Coordinator helps businesses and organizations become Automated External Defibrillators sites.

The coordinator can:

• assist with purchasing an AED and ensuring routine maintenance;
• provide information on training in the use of AEDs and re-certification;
• coordinate an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Activation Plan for a PAD location;
• conduct a post-incident review. This would take place after a Sudden Cardiac Arrest and the use of the AED
• help with stress management following the use of an AED

Under the direction of the PAD program's Medical Director, the Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region also provides continuous quality assurance to PAD sites.
