Tracheostomy Foundation Course

Foundation Tracheostomy Training is designed to support staff working in tracheostomy-designated areas with the completion of the Tracheostomy Proficiency Framework. The course focuses on practical skills, safe tracheostomy care, and best practice to promote patient safety.

The programme covers airway assessment, suctioning, emergency management, and routine care. Key skills in patient monitoring, risk assessment, and safe intervention are also explored.

This non-mandatory course forms part of the framework for developing tracheostomy competency within designated clinical areas.
