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.

Measuring Observations Training

Our venepuncture training course allows learners to undertake theory-based simulated practice in a classroom environment.
Overview
This ½ day (3 hour) blended learning course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of venepuncture theory and practical skills through simulation exercises in a classroom environment. 
Our expert trainers will guide you through the latest techniques, equipment, and safety protocols in venepuncture, and provide personalised feedback to ensure that you are fully prepared to perform this important procedure in real-world settings. Whether you are new to healthcare or seeking to refresh your skills, our Venepuncture Training course is the perfect opportunity to develop your knowledge and confidence in this critical area.

Why Is It Important?
Venepuncture is a common procedure in healthcare, but it is crucial that it is performed correctly to avoid potential complications such as haematoma, pain, and bruising for the patient. Practitioners are expected to use evidence-based practice to obtain blood samples efficiently and without causing any discomfort to the patient. If the sample is not collected correctly, it may not yield a valid test result, which can have serious consequences for patient care. 
Therefore, it is essential for healthcare professionals to receive comprehensive training in venepuncture, including theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and patient-centred communication, to ensure that they can perform this critical procedure confidently and safely, while minimising patient discomfort and anxiety.

Venepuncture (Phlebotomy) Training

Master the art of injection administration with our comprehensive training course
Overview
This half-day (3 hour) CPD accredited blended learning course on Injection Administration Training provides participants with an opportunity to gain both theoretical knowledge and practical simulation experience in a classroom environment. The course is intended to provide a comprehensive understanding of injection techniques and routes, as well as common injectable medications (excluding intravenous administration).
Throughout the course, learners will have access to a range of educational resources and simulation equipment to facilitate their learning. The course will be delivered by experienced clinical educators who are knowledgeable in injection administration.
By the end of the course, participants will have demonstrated theoretical understanding and practical competency in injection administration. The skills and knowledge gained through this course will enable participants to provide safe and effective injection administration in a clinical setting, ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients.


Why Is It Important?
Injection Administration Training is crucial for healthcare professionals to maintain their competence in administering injectable medications and ensure that they are up to date with the current best practices and techniques.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC, 2018) requires practitioners to maintain an appropriate level of competence in their skills. The National Patient Safety Agency also emphasises that all practitioners involved in administering injectable medicines must have the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitude to prepare and administer prescribed medications safely.
Unsafe injection practices can have significant consequences for patients, including nerve damage, abscesses, and pain, which can result in potential legal action. Therefore, it is essential for healthcare professionals to receive Injection Administration Training to ensure that they are providing optimal care to patients and avoiding adverse events.
By participating in Injection Administration Training, attendees will gain the necessary knowledge and skills to safely and effectively administer injectable medications, reducing the risk of harm to patients and promoting patient safety.

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

This isn’t a course. It’s a consecration. 
A sacred spiral for women in midlife who feel the shift — and are ready to rise.

There comes a moment when the roles you've played no longer fit.  
When the masks feel heavy. When the rhythm you’ve lived by begins to falter.

Not because you’ve failed. But because you’re becoming, something powerful, sovereign, and beautifully indefinable.

You’re not losing yourself. You’re rediscovering the fire that never truly went out.

 🔮 What is Hearth of Hera?

Hearth of Hera is a 7-week live, online spiral for women in midlife who know they’re no longer who they were — but aren’t yet sure who they’re becoming.

It’s not about self-improvement.  
It’s not a coaching programme or a checklist.  
It’s a return — to voice, sovereignty, magic, and self-remembrance.

If you’ve felt the call, your place is already waiting.

🌿 This journey is for you if:

*   You’re in midlife or standing at a powerful threshold moment
    
*   You’ve outgrown old identities, rules, or rhythms that no longer serve
    
*   You want sacred space that honours your depth, sensitivity, and magic
    
*   You’re ready to reclaim your voice — spiritually, creatively, unapologetically
    
*   You crave gentle ritual, beautiful structure, and a pace that honours your energy
    
*   You long for sisterhood without pressure or performance
    
*   You’re tired of trying to be “enough” and just want to be true

No application. No performance.  
Just resonance — and your readiness to return to yourself.

🔥 What You Receive

*   🕯 7 live weekly Zoom circles (Mondays at 6pm BST – replays available)

✨ The Spiral Path: Your 7-Week Journey

Each week brings a new threshold — a deepening into voice, truth, and sovereignty:

1.  Root the Flame — anchor into belonging and inner ground
    
2.  Ignite the Flow — awaken creative, emotional, and energetic movement
    
3.  Sing the Soul — speak your truth and reclaim the myth you live
    
4.  Name the Boundaries — honour your yes, your no, your sacred edge
    
5.  Clarify the Vision — attune to desire, direction, and knowing
    
6.  Burn the Falsehoods — release what no longer fits or serves
    
7.  Rise to Be Seen — stand whole, witnessed, and unshaken
    
This is not a linear curriculum.  
It is a spiral of becoming — rooted in rhythm, ritual, and resonance.

We begin 7/7.
Come.  
Sit by the hearth.  
Your fire is waiting.
