Escuela Universitaria de Enfermería Cruz Roja Española

The School is a private non-profit teaching center, which depends administratively and patrimonially on Cruz Roja De España and academically on the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. In 1918 Cruz Roja Española began training professional nurses by creating the Escuela de Enfermeras de Cruz Roja Española. Since its origins it has been concerned with training nurses of enormous technical and human quality in accordance with the philosophy and principles of the Cruz Roja and Media Luna Roja movement, having graduated more than 10,000 professionals of recognized prestige.

Teaching based on the scientific method is offered, using different teaching methodologies and conveying the relevance of systematic study for understanding problems in a multicultural society with a plural perspective on ideas and values. The active participation of the student in the training process is central to their learning.

As a complement to the training established in the Study Plan, the School offers students voluntary extracurricular teaching activities linked to the activities of Cruz Roja Española.
