Guidelines
Places on ATLS Student courses are allocated according to specialty and geography. Some course centres
will have places allocated to applicants from their region. It is essential that all specialties involved in the
care of the multiply-injured patient are represented on both Instructor and Student courses and that doctors
trained are disseminated throughout the country.
Contact details for each centre can be found towards the end of this
document. Where no details are given, that centre is not accepting
applications at present.
Please note that some of the courses listed below will be full and you may need
to put your name on a waiting list.
PLEASE do not contact centres regarding courses that are full, or about
courses that state Do not apply before prior to the date given.
The ATLS Steering Group acknowledges that, at present, demand for ATLS course places far outstrips
supply and is constantly working towards increasing the number of courses available. The number of
courses is fast rising and there are new course centres each year.
