FRATERTALKS EDITIONS 2024

It begins to beat already in the fifth week of pregnancy and from that moment on it will beat no less than 3 billion times during the life of an adult. We are talking about our heart, an essential organ for life but, however, we often do not pay enough attention to it until it gives us a scare in the form of a heart attack.

The figures already put us on alert, every year in Spain there are more than 120 thousand deaths due to heart attacks or heart-related diseases and it is also the first cause of death from work accidents.

We talk about how we can take care of our cardiovascular health in this edition of Fratertalks with Doctor Andrés Íñiguez, President of the Spanish Heart Foundation and Head of the Cardiology Service of the Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Vigo, who shared with us interesting reflections about the factors that most harm the health of our heart and what habits we can acquire in our daily lives to take care of it.

How many times have you understood something, totally different from what the person really wanted to say?  How many violent situations are produced, unintentionally, by how we say things, rather than by what we say itself?

And taken to the field of PRL, how much does our work of awareness and sensitization wear down on us seeing that our message never ends in reaching us?

We talked about how we can improve our communication towards non-violent, effective and healthy communication with María González Romero, mediator and training facilitator and author of the book “Under the words: how non-violent communication can improve your life” , who shared with us interesting reflections on the importance of words, how we use those words in our way of communicating and the effects they have on others.

About the extreme complexity of job security in a job as difficult as that of a war reporter, and about his own experience covering a multitude of wars around the world, we spoke with   Alberto Hugo Rojas , who shared his experience as a photojournalist, co-founder of the NGO Peace in Construction and member of Reporters Without Borders, in a Fratertalk titled   “Beyond the bullets : the PRL in war conflicts ”.

How to achieve the set objective is a process in constant evolution, where the ability to adapt, resilience and a positive mentality are key to overcoming obstacles and continuing to move towards our goals and aspirations. We talked about all this with Toni Nadal, who shared his experience as a tennis coach and Sports Technical Director of the Rafa Nadal Academy, in a very special Fratertalk that was titled: "Safety is our goal" .

In our September Fratertalks we talked about Personal Protective Equipment and for this we had the presence of Javier Díaz,  Technical Director of ASEPAL (Spanish Association of Personal Protective Equipment), an organization that brings together the main manufacturing and distribution companies in the sector.

In any professional field, personal protective equipment is the shield against those risks that have not been able to be eliminated at their source and in many cases the difference between an accident with minor or serious damage depends on the correct choice of this equipment, therefore, during the talk we talked not only about how the PPE They must comply with the regulations but become a key piece of a true preventive culture.
