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.

Safety is at the centre of all gold standard health care. Clinical Risk Assessment and Management is integral to the co-ordination and delivery of effective and safe care. 
It is acknowledged that risk cannot be completely eliminated; indeed some risks are difficult or even impossible to predict, however advocating a systematic approach to Clinical Risk Management, underpinned by effective communication and record keeping skills maximises the chances of managing risk

Our bowel management training course allows learners to undertake theory-based simulated practice in a classroom environment.


Overview
Bowel Management Training – Facilitated by registered nurses with first-hand clinical experience, this ½ day blended learning course allows attendees to demonstrate theoretical and practical simulation training within a classroom environment.
Participants will further their knowledge and skills related to support patients with bowel care interventions.
Why Is It Important?
Healthcare professionals need to be aware of the local and systemic effects of constipation, in order to prevent them effectively.


“Bowel care is a fundamental area of patient/client care that is frequently overlooked, yet it is of paramount importance for the quality of life of our patients/clients, many of whom are hesitant to admit to bowel problems or to discuss such issues.” (Royal College of Nursing (RCN) 2008).


Assessment to identify the cause of constipation will help to establish a plan of care for treatment. The effects of constipation can make patients feel very unwell, particularly if they compound a pre-existing medical condition.

Why Is Multiple Sclerosis Care Important?
Multiple sclerosis is the most common cause of neurological disability in young adults. It is a disease of the brain and spinal cord, and a lifelong condition that usually follows a relapsing or progressive course and results in a gradual accumulation of permanent disability. MS causes a multitude of symptoms that affect physical and cognitive function as well as mood; symptoms vary between individuals and for the same individual. Although disease-modifying drugs (DMDs), which can change the disease course, are available for people with active relapsing disease, there is no cure. MS affects every aspect of people’s lives – work, family, social life –and is characterised by unpredictability and variability. This means a holistic approach to care is required to meet the needs of people living with the condition.

Multiple Sclerosis Care Training

Our Stoma Care Training course allows learners to gain theoretical and practical stoma care knowledge.
Overview
Our stoma care training course is intended to cover all aspects of safe principles of stoma care including practical application within a classroom environment.

Why Is It Important?
The prevalence of stomas in the UK is significant, one in 335 people in the UK are currently living with a stoma (Colostomy UK, 2023). It is crucial to recognise that people of all age groups can have a stoma, emphasising the widespread impact and relevance of stoma care training.
While specialist stoma nurses typically provide specialised care for stoma patients, it is essential to acknowledge that these individuals may also receive care within clinical settings, where non-specialist healthcare professionals may be responsible for their well-being. Consequently, it becomes imperative for these healthcare professionals to possess a fundamental understanding of stoma management to effectively address the stoma-related health issues that patients may encounter.
In both routine stoma care and situations where complications arise, non-specialist healthcare professionals should be equipped with the necessary knowledge to recognise when it is appropriate to seek assistance from a stoma care nurse. By understanding the basics of stoma management, these professionals can ensure that patients receive the appropriate care and support, ultimately contributing to enhanced patient outcomes and quality of life.

Stoma Care Training Session Outline
Understanding the anatomy and physiology of stomas and different stoma types
Techniques for accurate measurement and template cutting for stomas
Proper procedures for emptying drainable stoma pouches
Understanding the process of changing stoma appliances, including both one-piece and two-piece options
Developing problem-solving skills for stoma-related challenges
Recognizing and managing complications associated with stomas
Aimed At
Healthcare professionals across all environments, already caring for ostomates wanting to enhance their current skills/knowledge and review current practice. Or those unfamiliar to stoma care nursing looking to acquire new skills.

Course Overview:
Understanding specific words and terms used in the healthcare sector is an absolute must if you are looking to progress in this profession. Once you have a basic understanding of how medical words are constructed they become easy to understand and use are internationally used by nurses, doctors, allied healthcare professionals, dentists and many other medical specialities.
If you're interested in pursuing a health or science career then the requirement and ability to communicate in this way is a necessity.
In easy to follow modules, you'll find our user-friendly format will not only give you a solid foundation in medical language, but can be completed in less than a day (although you have up to 8 weeks to complete). Through well-written and concise rich text, pictures, diagrammes and downloadable support material, this course teaches you how to analyse individual medical word parts such as prefixes, suffixes and word roots.
Did you know that most of the medical terms are composed of interchangeable word parts that are used in different combinations? Once you know the various word roots, prefixes and suffixes, you'll be able to actually define a medical term that you're not familiar with by simply by recognising its individual parts. More importantly, you’ll be able to apply your new skills in this course when you apply for a job.
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 is supplements 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.
