At Lope de Vega International School we have Ana Hoyo, full-time school nurse.

Ana prevents, assists and treats accidents, illnesses or allergies; It also safeguards, stores and supplies the necessary medication.

But it also does important work in terms of health promotion. Its commitment ranges from first aid training for teachers and students to promoting healthy eating, blood donation campaigns and disease prevention.

Ana is currently in charge of all aspects of the health of our educational community at the school; Lope de Vega International School. This includes different areas:

• Attending any accidents that may occur, managing the whole process.
