This 4-hour advanced resuscitation (ACLS) course is ideal for healthcare professionals and non-clinical staff. The course covers basic principles of managing cardiac arrest and is CORE Immediate Adult equivalent (previously known as CPR level 4/5).

PURPOSE

This 4-hour non-assessed course aims to refresh learners’ skills, knowledge, and confidence in providing advanced resuscitation in emergencies. It emphasises practical skills in an interactive learning environment.

RECOMMENDED FOR

This course is equivalent to the CORE Immediate programme (previously known as the Level 4 resuscitation course or CPR level 4/5) and recommended for health professionals, including GPs and fellows (who do not need an assessed course), nurses, dentists and other oral health practitioners who are not performing sedation, radiographers, physiotherapists, chiropractors, and other non-clinical staff.

The Advanced Resuscitation (ACLS) course meets the requirements of the Dental Council Medical Emergencies Practice Standard.

This ACLS course meets the requirements of Appendix 4.4 of the 2024 v3 Immunisation Handbook for Vaccinators. However, pre-course learning will be required. We recommend looking at the Vaccinator CPR 3-hour course, designed explicitly for authorised and pharmacist vaccinators.

ADVANCED RESUSCITATION COURSE

The programme contains theory and practical scenarios covering the following topics:

  • Collapse management
  • Basic resuscitation
  • Automated external defibrillator (AED)
  • Foreign body airway obstruction
  • Advanced resuscitation techniques
  • Use of oxygen in cardiac arrest
  • Basic airway adjuncts
  • Drugs in cardiac arrest

This ACLS course is based on current ANZCOR guidelines and presented by New Zealand Resuscitation Council-certified instructors. It ensures all participants receive the most up-to-date and practical resuscitation skills and techniques.

PREREQUISITES AND REQUIREMENTS

The course is suited to those who know and understand Basic Life Support and are trained in a healthcare-related profession.

Before attending the training, the learners will be expected to acquire the necessary theory by completing Self-directed online education, which must be completed a minimum of one week before attending the course.

The classroom session goes straight into summative and formative practice. Each skill station starts with the instructor demonstrating the required standard, followed by a practice/tutorial period.

Learners must be physically capable of kneeling on the floor to do CPR.

Important note: This course does not replace the workplace-compliant training or the required biannual workplace first aid recertification.

Designated workplace first aid providers must comply with WorkSafe New Zealand requirements regarding first aid competency. They must generally maintain their workplace first aid qualification through Work Save First Aid or regular bi-annual First Aid Refresher courses.

This course is approved as a CPD activity by:

The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners endorsed activitythe New Zealand Dental Association endorsed activityTHE ROYAL NEW ZEALAND COLLEGE OF URGENT CARE endorsed activity

COST

The price includes a First Aid Manual book: $250 incl. GST per person

Group booking: $1750+GST for up to 10 people

The course requires a minimum of 4 participants. It may be deferred or cancelled with fewer than 4 participants.

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

*Dentists and other oral health practitioners are encouraged to read the New Zealand Dental Council Medical Emergencies Practice Standard, including Appendix A: Medical emergency situations: specific responses and Appendix B: Emergency situations – Quick reaction guide.

Regular CPR training is paramount for all medical professionals, including doctors, GPs, nurses, dentists, and healthcare practitioners. Although most medical professionals are familiar with resuscitation protocols, many do not operate in acute care or clinical settings.

Skills can fade without regular exposure to emergencies, compromising the ability to respond effectively when needed.

ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) classes offer a vital opportunity to refresh and practice CPR techniques, ensuring proficiency remains sharp. Medical professionals can adeptly intervene in critical situations by maintaining up-to-date knowledge of CPR protocols and continually refining their skills through consistent training.
