In 2024, we were again able to provide first aid (event care) during various events for new and existing clients.

And that this has been done satisfactorily is evident from our positive reviews on Google.

But what is our strength now?

We have a passion for first aid and we like to share this!

It is not without reason that First Aid in the Netherlands was founded by an experienced nurse with the idea of also applying quality control of care in hospitals to events.

First aiders at events also provide care and this must be done properly!

That is why we wholeheartedly endorse the guidelines of the Field Standard for Event Care.

We believe that investing in our employees and their training is the key to the best results.

That is why we ensure a fair rate for everyone in our team and our employees do not work for a volunteer fee.

First aid workers at events fulfill an important function, for which they should receive appropriate compensation.

Did you know that the presence of first aiders at events is increasingly becoming mandatory?

And that first aid workers at events also proactively look at the safety of your visitors and employees?

In addition to a valid first aid certificate or diploma, almost all first aid employees in the Netherlands also have additional certificates (specializations), such as first aid for sports injuries.

Because first aid at events is tailor-made and this also requires the right skills and materials.

The training branch of First Aid in the Netherlands is happy to provide training in first aid or resuscitation to private individuals and companies with experienced instructors.

We also have our own location for this purpose.

We also check and supply first aid kits and bags, suitable for your business or private situation.
