Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS)

Description

All members and those who apply for Fellowship with ACAM must have valid and current certification in BLS and ALS. An ALS certificate will be accepted as evidence of BLS certification only if the course includes basic life support, including assessment in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

If a member is physically unable to perform BLS, they will need to:

• Provide evidence, a medical certificate or declaration stating a disability or medical condition that prevents them from performing CPR
• Then, inform ACAM in writing about the measures that have been put in place in their medical practice to ensure that the practice is prepared for such a situation requiring CPD.
