First Aid Convention in Europe - 2012

Wed, 21 Sep 2011 09:06:49 GMT

The First Aid Convention in Europe (FACE) was started in 1986.

It brings together Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies from across Europe to share first aid practices. One aspect of this international event is the first aid competition: the competition consists of a number of working stations where the team members have to deal with real-life scenarios.

World First Aid Day

Mon, 29 Aug 2011 08:58:49 GMT

One hundred and fifty years ago, a battle in northern Italy sparked an idea that has since changed the world. On 24 June 1859, Henry Dunant, a young Geneva businessman, witnessed horrifying suffering and agony following the battle of Solferino. The need for humanitarian action is still as vital today as it was in 1859.

We are all more or less vulnerable but we all have the capacity to learn and provide first aid to save a life. This is the key message of the International Federation’s World First Aid Day, when National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies organize different activities in order to raise public awareness on first aid and injury prevention.

The theme for 2011 is "First Aid for ALL"
