Basic Skills Course
The aim of the Basic Skills Course is to lead from theoretical knowledge in neonatal resuscitation to practical skills. It targets basic neonatal resuscitation competences but covers a very large proposition of every-day neonatal resuscitation requirements. It is a ‘hands-on course’ with manikins and original resuscitation equipment.
