Why did you do the course?
I have a keen interest in mountaineering and am currently a probationary member of Dublin-Wicklow Mountain rescue.

Why did you do the course?
ACLS is a mandatory course for most clinicians that needs to be updated, ideally every 2 years. ACLS for the Experienced Provider (EP) allows for re-certification of ACLS and also allows for a more detailed discussion of the conditions surrounding cardiac arrest. ACLP EP is much more applicable for emergency doctors as it involves a lot more discussion surrounding patient management. Continue reading
