For Cardiothoracic surgery, do i need to go through core surgical training or can i directly apply for ST1 (runthrough program) after FY2 ? If directly ST1 then what are the requirements for portfolio?

BLS is a good and inexpensive one.

Doing ALS from any institution....will it be recognized in UK ?

[@RoadToUK]

It needs to be ResusUK certified.

[@familia4907]

Do we have to do ACLS course before applying for FY2..?

[@RoadToUK]

Not for non training but FY2 standalone requires ALS before the start date.

[@familia4907]

Thanks for the response . Does an ACLS course from American heart association is accepted or I need to do one from a UK PROVIDER..?

[@RoadToUK]

It has to be ResusUK certified.
