On-Site ACLS

On-Site ACLS Training for Hospitals and Clinics

For a department, bringing the ACLS course to you is usually the most efficient option. We run on-site AHA ACLS anywhere in the UAE, with instructors, manikins and rhythm simulators.

How it works

You provide a room and the list of staff; we bring AHA instructors, adult manikins, rhythm simulators and airway equipment; your team trains and tests together and receives AHA ACLS eCards.

Why on site

  • No travel, and sessions planned around your rota.
  • Scenarios that reflect your own setting: ED, ICU, CCU, theatres or clinic.
  • A whole team trained to the same standard at the same time.
  • Usually a lower cost per person — see ACLS fees.

Formats on site

We can run full classroom ACLS, or HeartCode skills sessions for staff who complete the online part beforehand. Many departments mix both. BLS for the wider team can run the same day — see on-site BLS.

Who we train

Emergency and ICU nurses, doctors, paramedic teams, dental and sedation teams and pharmacists.

Where

Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Dubai and Sharjah and the Northern Emirates.

Records and renewals

We provide a list of names and expiry dates and can stagger future sessions so that cards do not all lapse together — see ACLS renewal.

Using your own equipment

Where it helps, we can build scenarios around your own defibrillator model and crash trolley layout, so staff practise with what they will actually use. This is especially useful for ED, ICU and theatre teams, and for clinics providing sedation.

Mixed teams

Most departments need a mix: ACLS for doctors and senior nurses, BLS for everyone else, and sometimes PALS. We plan sessions so each person only attends what they need.
