N2  - "The Advanced Paediatric Life Support (APLS) course is now delivered in 76 centres across the United Kingdom and 17 centres on every continent across the world.

Thank you all. This manual (the seventh in the last 30 years) supports the APLS and Paediatric Life Support (PLS) courses, as well as being used as a gold standard for acute paediatric clinical practice.
