Description

Course Overview:
The Advanced Life Support Level 1 (ALS1) course equips health professionals with the knowledge, skills and confidence to recognise and manage patient deterioration, perform effective resuscitation, and respond decisively in the critical early stages of a medical emergency.
Accredited by the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC), this one-day program is designed for clinicians who need more advanced skills than those taught in Basic Life Support (BLS), but who do not require the comprehensive two-day ARC Advanced Life Support Level 2 (ALS2) course.
Delivered by experienced St John WA clinical educators, ALS1 combines evidence-based instruction with immersive, hands-on simulation. Participants will strengthen their ability to assess and stabilise deteriorating patients, perform life-saving interventions, and work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary resuscitation team.

What You Will Learn:
The course includes:
Recognition and initial management of the critically ill patient using the ABCDE approach
Early identification of patient deterioration using observation charts and early warning scores
Basic life support for adults, children, and infants (including CPR and choking management)
Defibrillation skills using manual and/or automated external defibrillators (AEDs)
Airway management using adjuncts (OPA/NPA) and oxygen therapy
Patient assessment and monitoring to detect and respond to clinical changes
Structured handover using the ISBAR communication framework
Cardiac arrest management in accordance with the ARC ALS algorithm
Understanding common causes of cardiopulmonary arrest and strategies for prevention
Participation as an active member of the resuscitation team
