PALS Course in Dubai
Dubai has a large network of paediatric clinics, maternity and children’s hospitals and emergency departments, licensed by DHA. For teams there, we usually bring the PALS course to the unit.
The options
On-site PALS at your Dubai hospital or clinic, or HeartCode PALS online with a skills session at our Abu Dhabi centre for individuals.
For paediatric wards, NICUs and EDs we plan on-site sessions that keep your PALS cover per shift intact.
Outpatient paediatric clinics often need a smaller number of PALS holders and a well-stocked emergency trolley. See PALS for family and urgent-care doctors.
Complete HeartCode PALS online in Dubai and attend the skills session at Al Reem Island. BLS can be done the same day — see BLS in Dubai.
See PALS for licensing.

Children’s wards and PICUs in larger hospitals, maternity hospitals with neonatal units, standalone paediatric clinics, and emergency departments that see a high volume of children. Each needs a slightly different emphasis: neonatal teams focus on infants, EDs on rapid recognition, clinics on stabilisation and transfer. We tailor the scenarios on on-site sessions accordingly.
For maternity services, see PALS vs NRP.
