The one-day ERC certified ILS provider is designed for (specialist) nurses and paramedics. This course focuses on teaching (specialized) resuscitation acts appropriate to the caregiver’s job.

Course content

The Immediate Life Support course is a multidisciplinary one-day course that provides essential knowledge and skills for performing specialized CPR. The concept closely parallels that of the two-day ALS course, but focuses only on core knowledge and skills. The course aims to teach the healthcare professionals -who are part of the resuscitation team- basic skills regarding specialty resuscitation. Throughout the course, content will be tailored to the participant’s background, knowledge and skills.

Various skills such as BLS, airway management, safe defibrillation and rhythm recognition are trained. Also covered is the systematic approach to the vitally endangered patient using the ABCDE system. Various simulations are used to practice starting up CPR scenarios. In addition, throughout the course there is a focus on applying “non technical skills.”
