Suggested 2 day course itinerary:

To pass this course and gain certification attendees will each need to be deemed as competent in all of the topics, so session 4 will be the assessment session.
- Day 2
All course participants will be required to attend bespoke, realistic medical scenarios. The purpose of these scenarios is to improve confidence, share good practice & review learning points. They will also improve participant's ability to provide a handover to arriving medical staff and utilise debriefing techniques following a critical incident.
