Please note: Recognition of EPLS - The CEM curriculum requires trainees to have completed a paediatric life support course and recognises the course is an appropriate proxy for workplace based assessments in the major paediatric presentations.  The College curriculum refers only to APLS but trainers and trainees can be reassured that the EPLS is the equivalent of the APLS and is acceptable as evidence of these competences.
