"I'm keen to raise awareness of the defibrillators in the local community, so that people have peace of mind that this valuable technology is close at hand."

All McDonald’s managers are also trained in CPR and how to use a defibrillator.

The importance of CPR training and defibrillators made international headlines last summer when footballer Christian Eriksen collapsed and suffered cardiac arrest during a match at Euro 2020.
