Certification Training Courses

Advanced Life Support (ALS2)

The Advanced Life Support (ALS2) workshop is designed for medical and nursing staff to be accredited/reaccredited in the skills required for Basic and Advanced Life Support with a focus on extending the knowledge and skills in Resuscitation/Stabilisation of the Critically Ill or Deteriorating patient. The workshop is delivered in a supportive learning environment and uses interactive online pre-learning to cover core knowledge and a one day workshop for procedural skills and simulation training.

The course is suited to health professionals who wish to extend their knowledge in management of the seriously ill or deteriorating patient in the emergency setting, met call, and rural and remote environment.

Topics covered in the program include:

• Accreditation/Reaccreditation of Basic and Advanced Life Support

• Team-Based Resuscitation Skills

• Resuscitation and ALS in special circumstances

• Cardiac Arrhythmias: ECG Diagnosis, Cardiac Pacing, Cardioversion

• Resuscitation and Stabilisation of the Critically Ill or Deteriorating Patient

• Certification of Skills: Post MCQ and Competency Assessment

Newborn Advanced Life Support (NALS)

The Newborn Advanced Life Support (NALS) workshop is designed for medical and nursing staff to be accredited/reaccredited in the skills required for Newborn Advanced Life Support. The workshop is delivered in a supportive learning environment and uses interactive online pre-learning to cover core knowledge and a one day workshop for procedural skills and simulation training.

The course is suited to health professionals who wish to extend/renew their knowledge in resuscitation of the newborn in the labour ward, operating theatre, following (unplanned) birthing in the emergency department and in rural and remote environments. The training will assist to build the confidence and skills required to recognise and respond to a newborn requiring resuscitation.

Key skills that will covered in the workshop include:

• NALS algorithm

• Newborn Airway management and Bag/Mask Ventilation

• Set up and use of the Neopuff Ventilator

• Newborn Cardiac compressions

• Umbilical Vein Access

• Advanced life Support medications and fluids 

• Reversible causes in Newborn advanced life support

• Certification of Skills: Post MCQ and Competency Assessment

Advanced Airway and Ventilation

The Advanced Airway and Ventilation workshop is suited to both novice and experienced learner and will be of value to medical officers, nurses, nurse practitioners and paramedics who wish to develop or consolidate skills in emergency airway management and provision of respiratory support  to the patient with respiratory failure.

The course will explore the features indicating a patient with a potentially problematic airway, pharmacological agents used in airway management, preparation and equipment  for rapid sequence intubation, basic and advanced airway techniques and front of neck access. Ventilation will consider the range of options for providing respiratory support and provide training in high flow nasal prong oxygen, noninvasive ventilation and ventilation in the intubated patient. The workshop is delivered in a supportive learning environment and uses interactive online pre-learning to cover core knowledge and a one day workshop for procedural skills and simulation training.

Topics covered in the program include:

• Basic Airway management, Bag and mask ventilation

• Advanced Airway management: Endotracheal Intubation, Front of neck access 

• Rapid Sequence Intubation: Procedure, Drugs, Equipment, CICO algorithm

• Respiratory Support: High flow nasal prong O2, Noninvasive ventilation

• Ventilation of the intubated patient: Pressures, Monitoring, Trouble shooting

• Emergency Airway Scenarios/Simulation

• Certification of Skills: Post MCQ and Competency Assessment

Procedural Sedation

The Procedural Sedation workshop is suited to both novice and experienced learner and will be of value to medical officers, nurses, nurse practitioners and paramedics who wish to develop or consolidate skills in procedural sedation.

The course will explores indications, risk assessment, preparation of the patient, equipment, team for procedural sedation, common pharmacological agents and their routes of administration in procedural sedation, monitoring and recovery, recognition and management of complications, discharge procedure including discharge advice.

The workshop is delivered in a supportive learning environment and uses interactive online pre-learning to cover core knowledge and a one day workshop for procedural skills and simulation training.

Topics covered in the program include:

• Patient assessment

• Checklist for procedural sedation: Preparation, Equipment, Procedure, Recovery

• Selection, dosing and administration of drugs

• Complications: what to expect and how to manage

• Recovery and discharge

• Procedural sedation scenarios/simulation

• Certification of Skills: Post MCQ and Competency Assessment
