The CRANAplus Paediatric Emergency Care (PEC) Course is an interactive, practical course that covers aspects of the emergency management of children in the remote and isolated setting. The course aims to increase confidence with paediatric presentations and focuses on team leadership, communication and critical thinking in paediatric emergency situations.

  • Core paediatric emergency skills required in management of the critically and/or injured child in the remote and isolated setting
