Tracheostomy Change Training
Develop specialist knowledge and practical awareness of tracheostomy tube changes, airway safety and emergency procedures through professional, face-to-face clinical training.
About This Course
Our Tracheostomy Change training helps learners understand the principles of safe tracheostomy tube replacement and the importance of effective airway management
.First, our experienced trainers explain why tracheostomy tubes may require changing and introduce the different types of tubes and equipment.
Next, learners explore the importance of individual risk assessments, preparation, infection prevention and appropriate clinical supervision.
Throughout the course, participants examine the potential complications associated with tracheostomy changes, including airway obstruction, tube displacement and difficulties with reinsertion.
In addition, practical demonstrations and realistic clinical scenarios help learners understand safe procedures and appropriate emergency responses.
As a result, participants develop greater confidence in recognising risks and understanding their responsibilities when supporting tracheostomy tube changes.
Who Is This Course For?
This course is suitable for nurses, healthcare professionals and appropriately authorised care staff involved in supporting individuals with tracheostomies.
It is particularly relevant to professionals working in complex care, community healthcare and specialist clinical services.
What Will You Learn?
During the course, learners explore the following essential skills:
● Understanding tracheostomy tube types and indications for changing
● Recognising airway anatomy and individual risk factors
● Preparing equipment and maintaining infection prevention standards
● Understanding safe, planned tracheostomy tube changes
● Recognising professional responsibilities and supervision requirements
● Identifying complications and potential airway emergencies
● Understanding emergency escalation and contingency planning
● Maintaining accurate clinical records and individual care plans
How Is This Course Delivered?
Our experienced trainers deliver face-to-face sessions through clinical presentations, practical demonstrations, discussions and simulated scenarios.
Learners examine specialist tracheostomy equipment and explore the importance of safe preparation, monitoring and emergency planning.
Where included in the agreed programme, supervised simulation activities provide opportunities to develop relevant practical skills using specialist training equipment.
Furthermore, clinical scenarios help learners recognise complications and understand when to seek urgent specialist assistance.
Assessment and Certification
Throughout the course, our trainers use knowledge checks, clinical scenarios and relevant practical demonstrations to assess understanding and support skills development.
Upon successful completion of the training, each learner will receive a certificate issued by Magpie Training Ltd.
Employers can then use these certificates as evidence of completed staff training. They can also support continuing professional development (CPD) records.
However, course completion alone does not authorise individuals to perform tracheostomy tube changes independently. Employers must ensure practitioners receive appropriate supervised clinical training, competency assessment and authorisation before undertaking this procedure.
