Congratulations to the eight Papua New Guinean clinicians who successfully completed the Advanced Paediatric Life Support (APLS) instructor training course in Port Moresby recently.
The three-day instructor training course provided interactive and hands-on learning on the emergency management of ill and injured children.
Participants included Paediatric and Emergency physicians, Anaesthetists as well as one General Practitioner from hospitals across PNG including Port Moresby General Hospital, Goroka, ANGAU Memorial Provincial Hospital and Nonga.
With these eight new instructors, PNG now has a total of 16 APLS instructors who have the knowledge and skills to train other clinicians and health care professionals to provide high quality care to children with life threatening emergencies.
This instructor training course was delivered by APLS Faculty members from Australia and PNG through the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, funded through the Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP).
