The Advanced Neonatal Resuscitation (ANR) course is a hands-on, skills-based
course designed to build the confidence and practical skills of clinicians
responding to newborn emergencies, particularly in rural and remote
settings.
Delivered through 4 hours of online learning, followed by a one-day immersive
workshop, this course delivers structured skill stations and realistic,
simulation-based scenarios that mirror the challenges of rural and
resource-limited practice. Participants will sharpen both their technical and
non-technical skills, progressing from initial newborn resuscitation through to
post-resuscitation stabilisation and ongoing care. The program explores delivery
and neonatal complications, equipping clinicians to manage unwell or premature
babies in low-resource settings. Core topics include advanced airway management,
vascular access, neonatal drug therapy, post-resuscitation care, and ethical
decision-making around initiating or ceasing resuscitation, all underpinned by
practical teamwork and sound clinical judgment.
Grounded in ANZCOR Newborn Resuscitation Guidelines, the ANR course supports
best-practice neonatal care through evidence-based training that emphasises
clinical judgment, teamwork, and communication. Whether stabilising a preterm
baby for retrieval, recognising early signs of deterioration, or communicating
sensitively with families in high-stress situations, participants will develop
the confidence to lead and support their team through every step of neonatal
resuscitation.
It is mandatory that participants be present for the entire duration of the
Advanced Airway course (8am to 5pm local time). Therefore it is highly
recommended for interstate travellers to arrive at the course location at least
one day prior to the commencement of the course.
If for any reason a participant arrives after the course has commenced or
departs before the close of course, they will be ineligible to receive a
Certificate of Attendance or the allocated CPD/ QI&CPD points. The
participant will be required to re-book which will incur additional
charges.
