The ALERT™ Course 2025

The ALERT™ course is a clinically focused course covering the assessment and management of patients with acute life-threatening emergencies presenting to pre-hospital settings, urgent/emergency care departments and acute hospital settings. 

Delivered using a structured and practical approach, the course is divided into 5 core modules:

• Approach to emergencies: including primary and secondary survey and the principles of crisis resource management

• Airway and breathing: including haemoptysis, respiratory failure, pneumothorax, and drowning 

• Circulatory: including acute coronary syndrome, shock, acute pulmonary oedema, and pulmonary embolism

• Disability: including concussion injury, seizures, pain, TIA, stroke, and dibetic ketoacidosis

• Exposure: including anaphylaxis, burns, sepsis, envenomation, and oncological emergencies

Foundational pathophysiology is developed through interactive case studies to ground theory into practice. Live sessions will be delivered covering key topics from each module with on demand eLearning case studies and skills videos providing additional learning to apply your knowledge.

On demand access allows you to complete each module at your own pace over 12 months, with the opportunity to revisit cases, download additional resources and test your knowledge via the clinical case stuides.

This course is fully accredited with RACGP and ACRRM and has been developed with a multidisciplinary focus for nurses, paramedics and doctors.

Presented by course founder Ken Hambrecht, and experienced critical care clinicians Susie Helmrich, Sarah Arnold, and Grace Larson, the ALERT™ course will keep you updated and prepare you for clinical emergencies.
