3 Foreword On behalf of the Austrian Red Cross, we would like to welcome you to FACE 2013, this year s European First Aid Convention. It s a great pleasure to welcome the best First Aid Teams of European Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in Wels, in the heart of Austria. First Aiders from all over Europe are invited to prove their skill and knowledge in a oneday-competition. The tasks of this competition are demanding and the criteria are strict. However, the performance of the First Aiders as we know from the past years is impressive again and again. We are convinced that also this year all participants will pass the tests with great success. First Aid saves lives. All those who have ever helped a seriously injured person as a First Aider know that this is true. In many cases it is the help provided within the first minutes after an accident or a heavy disease that is decisive for the patient s life. Thus it is absolutely necessary to test the quality of our First Aid techniques continuously and to adapt them to the latest findings. Nevertheless, the competition in Wels should not only serve to find the best First Aid Team. Besides the traditional first aid competition, we are also hosting a conference on Friday with guest speakers featuring a range of interesting lectures and the latest research about First Aid. So these days also offer the opportunity to share experiences and to discuss new techniques, which may encourage and promote the co-operation of the European Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the establishment of common standards. Dr. Aichinger Walter President of Austrian Red Cross Upper Austria Dear participants, we wish you an exciting competition and lots of fun. Dear visitors and supporters of the First Aid Teams, we wish you an interesting and pleasant stay. Dear members of the Austrian Red Cross who have planned, organised and realised this event, let us express our thanks for all your efforts. You have paved the way for a smooth and successful convention. May we gain many new friends for the Thought of Helping for the benefit of all people in need of help! DDr. Schöpfer Gerald President of the Austrian Red Cross

6 About FACE The First Aid Convention in Europe (FACE) is an annual European Red Cross/Red Crescent event, which has taken place in different countries across Europe since It brings together Red Cross / Red Crescent National Societies from across Europe to share ideas, share first aid practices and to compete in a European Competition. These countries compete in a team first aid competition. The competition consists of a number of working stations where the team members have to deal with real-life scenarios as they would when they volunteer with their Red Cross / Red Crescent Society. Each scene has a number of casualties who have realistic-looking injuries. The injuries are crafted by a team of casualty simulators and look very lifelike. The team is marked on their first aid treatment, their psychological care of the patient, their management of the scene and other related matters.
