A HOTEL chain is rolling out a new web-based app that teaches life-saving CPR in just 15 minutes.
Travelodge is rolling out RevivR, devised by the British Heart Foundation, across its group, including hotels in Reading, Winnersh and Binfield.
The British Heart Foundation BHF has been the company’s nominated charity since 2017, raising nearly £700,000.
Also taking part in the RevivR app training are are Royal Mail and Tesco.
It teaches users how to recognise a cardiac arrest, gives feedback when practising chest compressions and allows users to practice using a defibrillator.
Tom Edwards, Travelodge Chief Revenue Officer, said: “Our nationwide staff trials, which includes colleagues from our hotels in Berkshire as well as members of our Executive Operating Board, have been extremely successful.
“This summer, we will further support this great lifesaving initiative by raising awareness of the importance of CPR to over 10,000 colleagues and to our nationwide customer base, which includes millions of business and leisure travellers.”
