Overview

This 3-hour workshop is for Consultant Medical staff who have previously had experience with Adult Advanced Life Support and wish to update their training, confidence and competencies. Instructors are accredited ALS instructors, and the course has CPD accreditation with ANZCA, CICM and ACEM. The workshop covers team leadership, role allocation and communication skills, and a simulation-based practical component according to the ARC ALS guidelines.
