NSW Paediatric ALS 1 Day Recertification 7 December 2026 - Westmead Innovation Centre

The Standard Your Smallest Patients Deserve.
Paediatric Advanced Life Support skills decay without practice and in a paediatric emergency, there's no margin for uncertainty. This one-day recertification course is designed for registered nurses and healthcare professionals working in critical care, acute, and paediatric settings who hold a current Paediatric ALS certification. It gives you the structured review, hands-on scenarios, and formal assessment you need to stay confident, competent, and current.

Developed in line with the latest Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) statements and ANZCOR guidelines, this course combines a focused review of Paediatric ALS content with the opportunity to apply those concepts in practice scenarios - delivering recertification in Paediatric Advanced Life Support.

Annual recertification in line with ANZCOR guidelines is recommended
