Description
Resuscitation Council UK’s e-ALS course blends a day of e-learning with a day of face-to-face practical learning.
The course covers the essentials of managing the acutely unwell patient and adult cardiac arrest. The online portion of the course covers the theory and workshop learning that is required for the course and can be done flexibly in your own time. The face to face element is delivered over a number of skills stations and practical scenarios to consolidate knowledge.
Our ALS qualification is recognised by the European Resuscitation Council and the Australian Resuscitation Council, giving you the freedom to use your lifesaving skills in other countries.
