Our Central Venous Access Device Training course is facilitated by registered clinicians with extensive experience.


Overview
This ½ day Central Venous Access Devices learning course allows participants to demonstrate theoretical and practical simulation within a classroom environment.
This training course is intended to provide a broad understanding around the post insertion care of a central venous access devices (this course does not cover insertion techniques).
Why Is It Important?
Central Venous Access Devices provide necessary access for the administration of infusion therapy in acute care and home care settings.
Although great strides have been made to reduce bloodstream infections during placement of these devices, the risk of complications associated with post insertion care and usage has remained apparent.

Infections related to vascular access devices may be caused by ineffective or improper care and maintenance of these devices. This course promotes best practice and aims to reduce CVAD complications.
Session Outline
Care of a midline catheter
Accessing and care of an implanted port
Care of a skin-tunnelled catheter
Care of a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC)
Aimed At
Registered healthcare professionals looking to enhance their current skills/knowledge and review current practice or looking to acquire new skills.
Facilitated By

Management of Central Venous Access Devices for Registered Practitioners

Pressure Area Care Training is facilitated by Registered Clinicians with extensive experience
Overview
Facilitated by registered nurses with first hand clinical experience, this ½ day blended learning course allows attendees to gain theoretical and practical pressure area care knowledge.
This training course is intended to cover all aspects of pressure area care including practical application within a classroom or virtual environment.
Why Is It Important?
The 2009 Parkside Nursing Home tragedy marked a turning point in raising awareness for pressure area care training. 5 residents within their care died between July 22nd and August 6th as a direct response from pressure ulcers developed during their admission. 
Since 2009 various initiatives have been introduced, however incidents of pressure ulcers remain at a disappointingly high level. Each year in the NHS in England, just under a quarter of a million patients develop a new pressure ulcer with, on average, 2000 newly acquired pressure ulcers developing each month (Public Health England, 2015). 
Pressure ulcers are the result of tissue damage caused by diminishing blood supply to the skin, usually because the area has been placed under pressure (NPUAP/EPUAP/PPPIA, 2014). It is felt 95% of all pressure sores are avoidable.

Pressure Area Care Training Session Outline
Anatomy and physiology
Risk assessment, skin assessment and care
Repositioning and early mobilisation
Grading and treatment of pressure ulcers – including React to Red
Aimed At
All healthcare workers across all settings with existing pressure area care knowledge wanting to enhance their current understanding. Alternatively, those new to healthcare looking to acquire new skills and practice effectively.
Facilitated By
Registered nurse with first hand clinical experience.

Measuring Observations Training is facilitated by Registered Clinicians with extensive experience
Overview
This Measuring Observations Training is a 1/2 day blended learning course allows attendees to demonstrate theoretical and practical simulation within a classroom or virtual environment.
Participants will further their knowledge and skills in measuring observations across varied healthcare settings.
Why Is It Important?
Clinical observations allow healthcare professionals to be aware of the health status of patients and allow tracking of patient’s health status. Patients within all healthcare and community settings may be at risk of physiological deterioration and not all patient deterioration can be predicted- so all patients (with the exception of some patients at the end of their life) require observation which includes the taking and recording of vital signs.
Early detection, timeliness and competency of response to changes in clinical observations are important determinants of clinical outcome in people with acute illness. ‘Track and trigger’ tools such as Early Warning Scores assist clinicians in spotting deteriorating patients.
Session Outline

Course Overview:
It takes a very special person to care for those at the end of their life’s journey. Yet for the terminally ill and their families, the gifts of compassion, dedication and skill are priceless treasures. This End of Life (Palliative Care) Course covers the issues and practices involved in caring for the terminally ill and is suitable for both healthcare professionals and individuals looking at optimising their care skills and practices.
This course will help you to gain a better knowledge of the procedures and best practices which underpins end of life care. It will help you to learn about the delivery of optimal end of life care and improve your communication skills to strengthen working relationships with healthcare professionals during this period. You will also feel you have a much better understanding on how to support the friends and family of the person that you are caring for.
In this online course, you will learn to address the ethical issues and characteristics of hospice and palliative care. You will also understand the assessment and management of pain. And you will be able to help patients and their families cope with dying, death, and the grief that follows and, in doing so, will ensure that the process is in the very best interests of the individual concerned.
If you are an individual looking after a terminally ill relative this course bridges the divide between understanding how healthcare professionals work and understanding how your relative or friend should be managed by your support team.
This course can also be combined with our Healthcare Practice (Fundamental Care Skills) Course which will also prepare you with a general and very solid foundation qualification in healthcare. Both qualifications combined will give you a total of 6 credits which you can also use towards other future qualifications (at many UK Colleges and Universities).
Once completed you will immediately be able to download your pass certificate. (Your new accredited certificate will be posted to you within 6-8 weeks.)
The nationally recognised and accredited certificate (awarded by the Open College Network) can be added to your existing certificate credit value (cumulative credits), and these may also count towards other similar college or university courses.
This course will perfectly supplement any medical or nursing course, however specific, and is open to anyone. At the end of each e-learning section you have up to 6 multiple choice questions to answer, with a passmark of 65%. You can re-sit each section 3 times.



Is this course for me?
This course is suitable for you if:
-- You are a healthcare professional or healthcare student and looking at focussing on this area of work
-- You are a healthcare professional looking to add a specialised qualification to your C.V.
-- You are an individual caring for a terminally ill relative or friend and would like to be fully aligned with current medical practices and end-of-life procedures
-- You are currently working in a Hospice, Care Home, Geriatric Unit or Hospital and have been advised to complete this course.
