Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an official RCUK ALS course?
No — this is an ALS preparation workshop. It helps you prepare for the official RCUK ALS course, but it is not the RCUK-certified ALS course itself.
Do I need prior ALS knowledge?
Basic familiarity helps, but we guide you through the core framework and focus on the skills that make the biggest difference: algorithm structure, rhythm recognition, leadership, communication and scenario flow.
Who can attend?
Doctors, nurses and allied healthcare professionals preparing for ALS or returning to acute clinical work.
