Levante UD takes part in The Nursing Route of the Valencia college of nursing
Levante UD players, Roger Brugué, Oriol Rey, and Sergio Lozano, have visited the Nursing Route organized by the Valencia College of Nursing and actively participated in it to help raise awareness and promote the importance of the nursing profession among the population. The three footballers believe that it is essential to 'promote health awareness in society and recognize that nursing is one of the fundamental pillars of the healthcare system.'
The Nursing Route is a traveling project that aims to make the work of nurses visible and promote health in the community. The trailer, located in different places in the city, offers an interactive experience with videos, infographics, surveys, and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) workshops to educate the population about nursing and health in general. The trailer is situated at the head of Avenida Aragón, 1 (Plaza de Zaragoza) and is open to the public.
Sergio Lozano highlighted the importance of the Nursing Route because 'nurses are the ones who provide most of the direct care to patients, and their presence is essential in hospital care, clinics, and other healthcare settings.' In the same vein, Roger Brugué emphasized that nursing 'plays a key role in care coordination and case management, especially for professional athletes. Nurses work closely with other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive and efficient care.'
Regarding healthy habits, Oriol Rey pointed out that nursing professionals 'not only deal with illness but also play an important role in health promotion and disease prevention. By educating patients and communities about healthy practices, they contribute to improving the long-term health of the population.'
During their visit, the three players expressed a keen interest in participating in CPR workshops, highlighting the importance of knowing these basic skills to act in emergency situations. They also engaged in talks on various health topics, from heart-healthy diet to home accident prevention and child and adolescent mental health.
The presence of Levante UD players at this event emphasizes the importance of collaboration between sports and health, promoting healthy lifestyles, and raising awareness in the community about the vital role of nurses in society.
