Program Description
This intermediate training program prepares clinical healthcare professionals, doctors, nurses, and healthcare assistants to respond effectively during paediatric medical emergencies. Aligned with the UK Skills for Health Core Skills Training Framework, the course equips practitioners with the knowledge required to identify clinical deterioration in infants and children promptly. Participants gain an understanding of mandatory resuscitation standards, legal obligations, and emergency response protocols necessary for maintaining patient safety in clinical environments.
The curriculum focuses on essential paediatric life support techniques, covering airway opening maneuvers, effective ventilation, and chest compressions tailored to children and infants. In addition, the syllabus examines the Paediatric Early Warning Score system, distinguishing between effective and ineffective coughs during choking incidents, and managing resuscitation interventions in alignment with national guidelines. Core clinical and ethical considerations, including Do Not Attempt Resuscitation orders, are also addressed in depth.
Delivered via an accessible, self-paced e-learning platform, the training incorporates interactive multimedia components such as custom animations, scenario-based knowledge checks, and reflective exercises conforming to accessibility standards. Learners can evaluate prior knowledge using an initial self-assessment tool or proceed directly to modular lessons and the final multiple-choice examination. Upon achieving the required pass mark, candidates receive an immediately downloadable CPD-certified completion certificate.
