The NODE (Netherlands Organisation of First Aid Instructors) was originally founded in 1956 as a committee within the Dutch National Association for Life Saving and First Aid "Het Oranje Kruis". Very quickly this committee became a full scale organisation and was eventually registered as an independent society in 1985. It changed it's name to the present one in 1997, mainly because the present society want's to include everybody involved in First Aid training, not just the instructors. The principal aim of the society is to provide additional training for our members and also to train new instructors. The society is actively involved with the modernisation of First Aid training in the Netherlands including the Dutch territories in the Caribbean.
The society maintains contacts with all other First Aid organisations in the Netherlands and some abroad. The organisation has a seat on the advisory board of Het Oranje Kruis. The NODE is also a member of the European Resuscitation Council and is recognised by the Dutch national resuscitation council NRR as training institue for BLS and AED instructors.

We would like to extend our contacts with other organisations, like us, active in this field.
