Quirónsalud to train volunteers and runners in cardiopulmonary resuscitation

In order to ensure the safety of participants, Quirónsalud, Healthcare Partner of the 10K Valencia Ibercaja, will provide training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid.

The training session will be given by professionals from the hospital group, which since the 2023 edition is part of the group of sponsors and collaborators of the best 10K in Spain.

This training will be directed not only to the race volunteers, but also to the runners and members of the organization. The session will show basic measures that are key when attending an emergency, as they can save lives.

From Quirónsalud Valencia, Dr. Mayte Resta, head of the emergency department and coordinator of this training, assures that speed of action "is key when an emergency situation arises during the race. Volunteers or members of the organization, even the participants themselves who are running, are the first people who can detect such situations and alert the emergency services. Quality initial care improves the vital prognosis of patients.Thatis why it is so important that the collaborators are trained in basic CPR maneuvers".
