This 5 hour course is designed to give candidates an introduction to
the structured approach to paediatric emergencies. We have chosen to
highlight this by presenting all of the components of a standard APLS
course, i.e. interactive lectures, practical skill stations and simulations
with a focus on injury in children. Candidates will be given the opportunity
to prepare for the course with some of the relevant chapters from
Advanced Paediatric Life Support: The Practical Approach 5th Edition and
access to some of the on-line learning modules that have been devised for
the standard course. Both the text and the on-line modules are in English.
Access to these materials will be arranged by the Advanced Life Support
Group in the UK by the 15th May 2011 at the latest. During the face-to-face
course, candidates will have hands-on practice in the practical skills and
simulations and these sessions will be delivered by a team of experienced
APLS instructors from across Europe.

Most of the evidence in paediatric textbooks is based on research done
in hospital settings. This evidence many times does not represent what
is happening in "real life", in the primary paediatrician's clinic. Scientific
evidence based on research done by paediatricians in primary care is
therefore needed. However, there are many obstacles to the conduct
of research in the paediatricians' clinics. Networking of paeditricians to
perform research is the means by which these obstacles are solved.
In the course we shall present research networks in general, and share
with the participants the experience gained from several studies done
in EAPRASnet, the research network of the European Academy of
Paediatrics, and in MCRN, the Italian paediatric network.
We shall have an interactive planning of a hypothetical study. The study
should answer the following clinical question:
"How can we reduce antibiotic prescribing for acute otitis media?".
We shall discuss the designs suggested by the participants of the course.
