Why is it Important?

Within head and neck surgical practice, tracheostomies are often managed both in ICU and the wider care settings. Incorrect management and care can result in complications and negatively impacting upon the patient’s activities of daily living.

All healthcare staff responsible for the care of tracheostomy patients must have a sound understanding of best practice especially if they are unfamiliar with them.

10-15% of all UK ICU patients have tracheostomies formed (Adult Trachy 14,000).

5000 surgical tracheostomies procedures each year.

58% male patients (NTSP, 2019).

Who can be trained?

Healthcare professionals across all settings including community, already caring for tracheostomy patients, who want to enhance their current skills/knowledge and review current practice. Or those unfamiliar to tracheostomy care looking to acquire new skills and practice effectively.
