The College typically arranges a 2-day PALS course with the University of Auckland – Simulation Centre for Patient Safety. It is suitable for all health professionals with a need for advanced skills, competence and confidence in paediatric emergency situations and who may be required to respond to a paediatric cardiovascular emergency. We alert those who need to complete a PALS, and recommend booking your place as soon as you are notified.
We recommend that trainees plan to complete their PALS as early as possible in their programme. Therefore we recommend completing a PALS course with an external course provider. The College will reimburse course fees for those who are funded by Te Whatu Ora Workforce Planning and Funding, up to $1000 (GST excl). The reimbursement form must be completed and all receipts submitted. Contact Alex (tpc@rnzcuc.org.nz) for more details.
