Tracheostomy Awareness Training Course

A tracheostomy is a medical procedure that creates an opening through the neck and into the windpipe (trachea) to allow direct access to the airway. It is typically performed when normal breathing is blocked or reduced. A tube is inserted through this opening to support breathing and clear secretions from the lungs.

Our Tracheostomy training course teaches learners how to identify different tracheostomy tubes, understand their function and deliver safe, effective care for someone with a tracheostomy. Contact us today to enrol your team.
