Airway Management for Recovery Nurses and ODPs

A practical, one-day course focusing on airway and respiratory care in the perioperative setting. Topics include airway complications, CO₂ monitoring, tracheostomy care, blood gas analysis and managing respiratory emergencies.

Working across different Trusts, I’ve seen a lot of training styles—this was by far the most engaging. The scenarios felt real, the feedback was constructive, and I left with skills I can adapt to any setting.

The course bridged the gap between theory and practice perfectly. I left with a deeper understanding of anaesthetic workflows and the confidence to contribute more actively in theatre.

I’ve never felt so included in professional training before. The sessions were interactive, the explanations clear, and I left feeling like a valued member of the perioperative team.
