DRILL COMPETITION 2026
DRILL COMPETITION 2026
From 2026 onwards, Foot Drill will no longer be part of the First Aid and Home Nursing Competition. Instead, it will be established as a standalone event under its own category: the Drill Competition. This change aims to provide greater emphasis and focus on each respective component, allowing participants to develop and demonstrate their competencies in a more dedicated and structured setting.
