Introducing the UK Tracheostomy Improvement Programme
The ICST TRACHES Toolkit, is a comprehensive toolkit addressing the pressing need for standardised policies, reduced variation, and increased efficiency of the frontline health system. It forms part of a proven system that joins policy to patient, and comprises the following key components:
- Patient Self-Management app, TRACHEShub
- Healthcare professional toolkits (for frontline teams offering care for adult and paediatric patients, in hospital and in the community)
- Tracheostomy service leaders
The toolkit will facilitate seamless communication among policymakers, clinical leaders, tracheostomy hospital departments, healthcare professionals, patients and their carers, aiming to achieve population-level engagement and uptake, leading to improved clinical outcomes.
