European Paediatric Life Support (EPLS)

The EPLS provider course is intended to provide training for multi-disciplinary healthcare professionals in the early recognition of the child in respiratory or circulatory failure and the development of the knowledge and core skills required to intervene to prevent further deterioration towards respiratory or cardiorespiratory arrest.

The EPLS provider course is a collaboration between the European Resuscitation Council and the Resuscitation Council (UK) and reflects changes in resuscitation education.

This course is designed for healthcare professionals who would be expected to apply the skills taught as part of their clinical duties, or to teach them on a regular basis. Appropriate participants include doctors, nurses and paramedics working in direct contact with children. All applicants should hold a current clinical appointment and professional healthcare qualification. Medical students in their final year of training can be accepted as candidates provided they do not exceed 10% of the total number of candidates.
