All members of staff would also be offered the opportunity to undertake the Advanced Life Support course (ALS) as part of your continued development and to provide you with the shills to manage emergency situations.

Please note an NMC PRN Pin is not a full NMC Pin and would not fulfil the essential criteria for this role.
The NCA can no longer accept applications from International Nurses and Midwives who are yet to complete all competencies needed to receive a full NMC PIN to practice in the UK as we have paused our OSCE programme indefinitely.
