Resuscitation Training Courses
RCUK (NLS) Newborn Life Support Course
Who is the course for?
The NLS course is designed for any healthcare professional involved in the delivery and care of the newborn infant. This includes both junior and senior medical and nursing staff, midwives, paramedics and resuscitation officers.
All applicants must hold a professional healthcare qualification or be in training for a professional healthcare qualification.
Unlike many of our other courses, there is
no NLS recertification course. The NLS course is appropriate for first-time Candidates as well as those looking to renew their NLS certification.
Pre-course preparation:
Candidates receive their NLS manual one month before the start of the course. Candidates should prepare for the course by reading the manual and completing the online pre-course MCQ (multiple-choice question) paper.
Assessment and certification:
NLS is assessed based on the completion of an MCQ paper, and an airway test that will allow Candidates to demonstrate the core skills in airway management that are covered on the course.
Successful Candidates receive a Resuscitation Council UK NLS provider certificate, which is valid for four years.
This course is recognised as continuing professional development (CPD) by the Medical, Dental and Nursing Royal Colleges and Health Care Professional Council. Please contact your registering body for further information.
