Course Overview:
ACCCN recommends annual recertification in Advanced Life Support and offers a one-day theoretical and practical Paediatric Advanced Life Support recertification program for healthcare professionals who have previously completed a formal Paediatric ALS course. At registration you will be asked to produce evidence of your current ALS certification to assure that recertification is appropriate.
Based on the latest Australian Resuscitation Council Statements on Basic and Advanced Life Support and current ANZCOR guidelines, the morning is a review of Paediatric ALS content with the opportunity to apply those concepts in practice scenarios. The theoretical and practical assessment for recertification will follow in the afternoon.
Registration includes a program manual and e-learning material.
Morning overview of the following topics will include:
- Paediatric Basic Life Support algorithm and principles
- Paediatric Advanced Life Support algorithm and principles
- Airway management and electrical therapy skill stations
- Practice scenarios in team roles
Nursing staff can claim up to 10 CPD hours (including six hours program content and four hours self-directed learning).
Medical staff may be accredited a different allocation of hours based on the accreditation with their medical college CPD home.
Annual recertification and frequent review of ALS practice in line with ANZCOR guidelines is recommended.
Pre-course requirements:
Attendees must have a recent Paediatric ALS certification, preferably within 12 months.
Attendees can test their knowledge by completing the electronic pre-test quiz prior to the day. Details on how to access the ALS Manual and pre-test quiz will be emailed on receipt of paid online registration.
