Attendance of the Oro-Pharyngeal Suctioning Training Course will ensure the delegates are familiar with suction machines and catheters. Demonstrations using simulated practice form the practical part of the course, the theory of oro-pharyngeal suctioning will also be covered.
With more people living in the community receiving quasi-medical support, this course covers the theory behind the use of oro-pharyngeal suctioning which is sometimes not as thoroughly covered in shadowing circumstances.
