Wow, poor excuse from the leisure centre - they should deal with the
actual problem and not a hypothetical one!
I've added one in my town's High Street, but unfortunately it doesn't
show up on the standard map layer. It would be good if there was an
"emergency" layer, which listed all the emergency tags and other
important POIs. The humanitarian layer has police, fire, medical, ATMs,
taxis, etc. - would make sense to add defibrillators to that list as
well. How do we go about getting a defibrillator icon on the map?

I spent some time not that long ago trying to survey all the ones in
Tendring using the list available at
http://www.eastamb.nhs.uk/Get-involved/Community-Public-Access-Defibrillators.htm
as a starting point of where to look.
I’ve fed back to them some spelling mistakes that are on their list
(they’ve not corrected them yet), and mentioned one that they aren’t
aware of (I need to get Morrisons at Waterglade in Clacton to let them
know officially before they can add it). There are also a couple on
their list that I can’t find. Possibly inside the swimming pool and
office that are mentioned, but not externally accessible outside
opening hours when I surveyed, so they aren’t in OSM yet. I might try
and get back during opening hours at some point, but this suggests we
might need opening hours tags (or maybe access tags if they are only
for customers, for example) for those not always accessible.
I used Overpass to view them
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/cgh
The reason I mapped them was because our CAMRA branch decided to apply
for some available funding to purchase some for local village pubs,
getting the funding for all three that we applied for. One of the
conditions was that there weren’t any near where we were applying to
add another. So I needed to know where the existing ones were, and the
overpass map seemed perfect for that. One of the pubs that was
originally suggested already had one on the outside. Anyway, the three
have been delivered to the pubs, and the one I know has been attached
to the pub I mapped yesterday. One of the other two is (or will be) at
the pub around the corner from another new one I need to survey
http://www.openstreetmap.org/note/532309
as it appears the different funding sources don’t co-ordinate (or the
Firs decided to get their own). The final one is (or will be) at the
Plough in Great Bentley.
This story is another reason why we might want to consider access tags:

Well as we have a healthcare QP running which seems not to have
generated a community focuslike we did with schools and there's some
interest in defibs - why not get cracking on this for the rest of the QP?

On the subject of defibrillators, they could make a useful GB mapping
project. They need surveying, but it is something that both urban and
rural mappers could get out and find on the lighter evenings.
I quite agree. I've just mapped two near me (one in an old phone box,
one affixed to the wall of a shop).
I suspect there are far more out there than would be apparent from the
map:
