| description | Because bystanders can play a vital role in delivering first aid prior to the arrival of emergency care, the Safety Region of IJsselland (www.in-prep.eu/srij/) together with the Netherlands Red Cross, developed a skill focused workshop called ‘Lifesaving Acts,” and then offered it freely to its citizens.
