Paediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) training provides a structured learning environment for multi-disciplinary groups to develop the skills, teamwork, and organisation necessary to effectively manage paediatric emergencies.
The PALS provider course is designed to prepare participants to identify and treat common conditions that may lead to cardiac arrest in infants and children, such as respiartory failure and shock.
PALS Provider training is essential for all healthcare professionals involved in the provision of care to acutely ill infants and children.
