RCUK Advanced Life Support

Resuscitation Council UK’s e-ALS course covers all the essential ALS skills in resuscitation.

This ALS programme targets key areas of resuscitation and will help build the confidence needed to take the lead in an emergency.

As part of the course, you’ll have the opportunity to flex your practical skills with simulations and workshops and broaden your understanding of ALS with lectures and skill stations.

During the course, you will develop the knowledge and skills required to:

  • Recognise and manage the deteriorating patient using a structured ABCDE approach;
  • Deliver standardised CPR in adults;
  • Manage a cardiac arrest by working with a multidisciplinary team in an emergency situation;
  • Become an effective and confident team member and leader by utilizing non-technical skills.

Course Leader - Emily Browne

This course is designed for healthcare professionals who need skills in advanced life support as part of their clinical duties, as well as those who teach these skills on a regular basis. This includes doctors, paramedics and nurses working in acute care areas (e.g. ED, CCU, ICU, HDU, operating theatres, acute medical admissions units) or on resuscitation/ medical emergency/ Critical Care Outreach teams.

All applicants must hold a professional healthcare qualification or be in training for a professional healthcare qualification. Medical students in their final year of training can be accepted as candidates if this is an established local arrangement.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

e-ALS covers the same course content as ALS. It involves one day of e-learning, which is done in your own time, before attending a one-day face-to-face course.

Prior to the course, you will receive a course manual, which all candidates are expected to read in preparation for the face-to-face course date. Each candidate will be expected to submit their completed pre-course MCQ paper before the course begins, via the RCUK LMS.

RCUK recommends that you should have at least 4 weeks preparation time prior to the course. If you choose to book with less than 4 weeks to prepare then you accept this is against the guidance of RCUK

Frequently Asked Questions can be found on the RCUK website Adult Life Support Training | Resuscitation Council UK

Please Note: From our professional experience we have found that those candidates attending ALS for the first time should consider attending a 2-day face to face course or be proficient in self-directed learning, to complete the course elements required of the 1-day e-ALS course.
