This Course-Workshop, taught by the director of the Ondara Health Center, Xaro Pons, and the nurses Ana Pastor and Andrea Armengol, has been very positively valued by the entire faculty and by the families. It has been a necessary training to know and treat the different chronic diseases existing in the students of our Center and the performance, if necessary or in an emergency, of first aid actions according to the age of our students. Infographics have been prepared on these emergency protocols that are visible in those classrooms that present students with these diseases.
