    PLS exists to teach the practical procedures necessary for the initial effective management of childhood emergencies.

The course comprises of lectures, skills stations, workshops and resuscitation simulations.

    Candidates should be from a medical, nursing, ECP, ACP, ODP, physicians associate, nursing associate or RTO background. In addition, PLS should be relevant to their working practice and they should be currently working or employed in a relevant role. There is no minimum requirement for medical candidates. Other health professionals for whom PLS is relevant to their working practice can apply to ALSG for permission to attend an PLS course.
