AFPO, the Association of Foreign Property Owners, was given a refresher course on First Aid, by Calpe Cruz Roja Ambulance man David. We were shown how to resuscitate someone on the dummies he and his companions brought along, mouth to mouth resuscitation is no longer used, people should solely pump the heart.
Advice was given on how to deal with bad cuts. We also were advised of the signs of a heart attack or stroke. At the end of the talk we were all invited to look inside one of their ambulances.
The next AFPO meeting will be a General one on Tuesday the 17th of February, at 10.30hrs, in the Club de Tenis Calpe.
New members are always welcome. The aim of our Association is to advise foreign residents on any problems they may have whilst living in Spain, and help translate for patients at the Calpe Centro de Salud. New volunteer translators are always welcome.
We would like to wish all our members a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year.
