What is the National Forum on Emergency Care and Social Issues?

For years, Emergency Staff has been promoting this training forum, which encompasses three specialized courses aimed at healthcare and emergency responders. It is an annual gathering that brings professionals to Ibiza from various parts of Spain, Italy, and England.

An ideal training format that enhances the professional competencies of healthcare and emergency personnel, updating their knowledge and transforming their vision of coordination in emergency situations involving multiple teams. These sessions include social goals whose achievement depends on the efficiency of the groups trained during this forum.
