About this Course
-
Are you proficient in resuscitation skills?
-
Do you have knowledge of current resuscitation guidelines and research?
-
Do you have the clinical skills to manage an adult cardiac arrest?
-
Are you expected to be a competent Advanced Life Support (ALS) provider?
The EMSET Advanced Life Support (ALS) one day course is based on ANZCOR Guidelines and best practice principles.
The course provides remote health clinicians/workforce with the skills required that contribute to a successful outcome after a cardiac arrest.
Clinicians will learn the importance of early rhythm recognition, CPR, defibrillation and post-resuscitation care in the context of a remote and isolated setting.
EMSET encourages health care clinicians to apply ALS knowledge and skills acquired within the context of the policies of their employing health service.
Who is this course for?
The ALS one day course is designed to facilitate a personalised learning experience for the remote and isolated clinician (Nurses, Midwives, Paramedics, and Medical Officers) who may be required to provide ALS. This ALS course is contextualised for the remote and isolated setting with limited resources. The one day face to face workshop enables clinicians to practice and develop their clinical skills in a simulated environment under the guidance of highly experienced ALS instructors.
EMSET recommends that ALS be completed every two years and suggest that BLS be completed prior to undertaking the ALS course.
If you have any queries about the course or its relevance to your practice, please contact us.
