Hello,

Can any body guide me on where can I take an ATLS course,in the EU or in

Asia?I am presently working for TSKJ Nigeria LTD. as a camp nurse and I am

required to get one.Since this course is very seldom offered in my home country

in the Philippines.

Hi. As far as I know, you can attend the course but cannot write the exam.

Only doctors are allowed to do this. You will only recieve a certificate of

attendance. There are other courses that would be more beneficial. The ATCN

course is the nurses equivalent of the ATLS. It is also run by the same

people who run ATLS and sometimes runs concurrently with the ATLS course.

Then there is Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS), ACLS, PALS and NRP

that might help you.

A qualified nurse can attend and take the exam for ATLS in the UK

Find a provider, do the course, get the ticket!

I can confirm that only doctors can actively participate in ATLS.

I co-ordinate the ATLS course in my hospital. Nurses are observers

not " participants "

Quotes from American College of Surgeons who roll-out the course to the

UK through the Royal College of Surgeons in London:

" Physician Extenders " include nurses who participate " without

expecting or receiving verification of successful course completion " .

PHTLS or ATNC are advised as being more appropriate because they are

designed for non-doctors.

ATLS is good to observe but only doctors get the ticket.

Guy's,

Thank you very much for the information that all of you have rendered, so I

was wondering if any one on the group knows a specific training facility which

we could contact and go for a training in the u.k.

Felix,

The best place to contact would be the royal college of surgeons of england (

www.rsceng.ac.uk ) and see where there are approved centres. After this you will

find a problem of the sheer lack of spaces for doctors that means that observer

places will be tricky.

As suggested it may be worthwhile looking at courses that provide teaching in

some ATLS skills rather than the ATLS course itself.

Cheers,

Ross
