Completion of a PALS (Paediatric Advanced Life Support) 16-hour or full APLS (Advanced Paediatric Life Support) course is required for all urgent care registrars. This is because resuscitation skills have an 8 hr and a 16-hour course, and we require the 16-hour 2-day course at this stage.

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.
