Acute Cardiovascular Emergencies Course (A.C.E)
ACE is a one-day simulation program designed for medical and nursing staff who respond to acute cardiovascular emergencies. The course aims to improve knowledge and skills in assessing and managing patients with acute cardiac conditions.
ACE utilises a blended learning approach to maximise the opportunity for hands-on practice of clinical skills and to explore clinical decision making in immersive simulation scenarios.
Topics included in the course are:
• Vascular access and line insertion
• CPR, defibrillation and advanced cardiac life support

As well as the technical knowledge and skills required to manage complex cardiac events, ACE emphasises the importance of teamwork skills, such as leadership and effective communication, which are known to contribute to improved patient safety.
