RC(UK) e-PILS Course

Description

The Resuscitation Council (UK) Paediatric Immediate Life Support (PILS) course was launched in 2007. It was developed in response to a demand from healthcare professionals who may have to act as first responders and treat seriously ill children or children in cardiac arrest until the arrival of a cardiac arrest team. The e-PILS course blends a half day of e-learning with a half day of face-to-face practical learning.

This course provides training in the management of the seriously unwell child and paediatric cardiac arrest. It builds on the foundations of basic life support and provides a solid grounding in the management of these situations.

It is appropriate for the following candidates: doctors, medical students (final

year), nurses, health visitors, school nurses, nursing students (final year), midwives, ODPs ,

cardiac technicians, resuscitation officers, physiotherapists, dentists, dental nurses, ambulance technicians/paramedics.

The RCUK recommend a minimum if 2 weeks preparation for the course - it is not advised to book with shorter notice than this.
