The outcomes of safe tracheostomy care in children
Tutorial presented by Jo Cooke, Tracheostomy Advanced Nurse Specialist, Great Ormond Street Hospital
The tutorial focuses on the importance of standardising paediatric tracheostomy care in hospitals and the community using the “three C’s”: Competency, Confidence, and Consistency.
- Competency: Emphasises learning, working, and training together to manage adverse events effectively. National competency guidelines ensure everyone is trained the same way.
- Confidence: Highlights the importance of confidence in managing pediatric tracheostomy emergencies. Confidence is built through practice, study days, and access to resources like literature, podcasts, and apps.
- Consistency: Stresses the need for consistent care across different settings to avoid frustration for families and ensure safety. Consistent training and resources lead to improved care for children both in the community and hospital.
