We are delighted to advise that the CYP APEx course has now launched and have secured course dates in October and December at the Advanced Life Support Institute, in Manchester. Dates and booking link are below.

The aim of CYP APEx is to demonstrate how a structured approach can be used to equip any health professional encountering children and young people in acute distress (crisis) with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to be competent, confident and compassionate in providing safe, effective, high-quality care until an appropriate onward care plan is in place.

The course is multiprofessional with an emphasis on team working across physical and mental health professionals and learning with, from and about each other. There are pre course learning materials in the form of a manual and case studies. The in person course is over two days, with some short lectures and workshops but mostly active learning through simulated scenarios using actors presenting in acute distress, facilitated by an experienced multiprofessional faculty.
