The Advanced Trauma Life Support® (ATLS) Provider
The ATLS® course is an American College of Surgeons programme developed by clinicians and educators to teach the principles of early trauma management. The course was developed nearly 30 years ago and has been adopted in over 60 countries worldwide. It is an intensive course intended to teach a simple, systematic approach to the management of trau
ma patients through interactive tutorials, skills teaching and simulated patient management scenarios. The course is taught by clinicians who are experienced in trauma care and who have themselves undergone both the ATLS® Provider Course but also a special educational course to optimise their teaching skills. Each student will have the benefit of a mentor and the faculty will be present throughout the course to help with any queries. Content
ATLS teaches a safe reliable method for immediate management of the injured trauma patient. ATLS is a multidisciplinary course enabling a standardised language of trauma care across the specialties. Format
This is a highly-interactive course combining lectures, discussions, interactive tutorials, skills teaching and simulated patient management scenarios (moulage). There are continual assessments throughout the course. An ATLS manual is provided to all participants & pre-course reading is essential to be able to participate fully in the course.
