Description
This complex care session, delivered by a specialist nurse trainer, is split into two parts.
The morning provides you with the knowledge and overview of skills required to care for adults and paediatrics in the community who have a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube.
In the afternoon session you will learn about caring for someone with epilepsy (includes rescue medications).
Our trainer will also talk you through practical demonstration(s) and there will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions.
What you will learn
The main aim is to provide you with the knowledge and shared experience to ensure safety, care and comfort of patients and clients with complex care needs.
Learners who are new to PEG / enteral tubes are required to gain competency under clinical supervision within their own workplace.
You will also receive a competency framework to download and use in your clinical area.
Suitable for those requiring an update as well as those new to PEG feeding / epilepsy.
For those new to these clinical skills this course must be followed by a period of supervised practice in your workplace and a competency based assessment.
Health care assistants and support workers must all have at least 6 months care experience.
All learners will receive a CPD certificate and downloadable handouts.
Target audience: community nurses, experienced health care assistants / support workers and any other health or social care staff working with adults with complex care needs in a community setting.
