Resuscitation Services
e-ALS Recertification Course
The first ALS Recertification course in
Northern Ireland was held in the QIIC Centre
in the Ulster Hospital. This was noted to be
a great success!
Candidates travelled from England and the
Orkney Isles to attend the course!
We plan to run another at the end of the year.
The Resuscitation Team plan to pilot Vocera as a new
method of alerting the Crash Team (Ulster Hospital) in the
event of a cardiac arrest. This will hopefully take place
April/May 2019.
If the pilot is successful, then Vocera would replace the
current Multitone Bleep System.
