Describe your organisation

Salvus s.r.o. is a private medical facility and training center located in 11 Komárnická Street, Bratislava, Slovakia.
Salvus company was founded in 1995, which provides services from a clinical psychologist and psychological counseling. Since this year began to develop a long tradition in psychological diagnosis, which is always followed and reported the latest trends in traffic psychology in Slovakia. Since 2003 has become a major provider of training courses for the general public. Since 2008, we are dedicated computerized psychological diagnostics of professional drivers, holders and applicants for a gun license.
We are currently the largest traffic-psychological center, which significantly contributed and still contributes to the development of transport psychology in Slovakia. We communicate with leading experts from various professions related to transport. We propose laws and comment on the drafts of laws that help to draw attention to human factors in transportation. We are a member of the Expert Commission CDV in Brno, Czech Republic which creates a driver rehabilitation courses in EU grants.
In 2010, together with the Slovak Chamber of Psychologists, we organized the first international conference on traffic psychology. This action has interrupted almost 20 years of silence traffic psychologists in Slovakia. In 2012 the 2nd year of this scientific conference is being prepared, attended by the leading European transport psychologists who set the trend in this industry for the next period.
Salvus was the first company who conducted driver’s rehabilitation course in Slovakia It invests considerable material, financial, personnel and time costs to develop this method. Nevertheless, it still feels a lack of didactic aids, teaching materials and guidance for client’s and lecturers. As a country with a short tradition in this method, we can provide new and original ideas unaffected by previous failures in the implementation of some methods.
Moreover, Salvus has close contacts with experts in the field of driving schools and centers of safe driving. They help us to find the most reserves that drivers have in their knowledge of safe driving. We urge our demands to our close colleagues in psychiatry and general medicine to provide better medical examination and inform their patients about the risks of alcohol and drugs on driving. We also work with representatives of the Police Force and the Integrated Rescue System which provide us with authentic and invaluable information from real interventions and explain to us the real causes of accidents in Slovakia.
