NEW- Updated procedures on ClinicalSkills.net

Here’s some news about the latest updates on clinicalskills.net!

All the procedures on Tracheostomy Care have been reviewed by the authors and updated. These procedures are:

Care of the individual with a tracheostomy: stoma care and cuff management
Care of the individual with a tracheostomy: suctioning
Care of the individual with a tracheostomy: humidification and oxygen therapy
Care of the individual with a tracheostomy: changing the inner tube


There have been few changes to the content of the procedures as a result of the update, but these procedures now reference the publication from the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death, “On the Right Trach?” (NCEPOD, 2014).

How to access
Access ClinicalSkills.net via the intranet (no log in required) or off-site at www.clinicalskills.net with an MTW NHS OpenAthens account. 

To find these procedures, just click on Procedures, then Adults and then Tracheostomy Care; or alternatively, click on Procedures and then put “Tracheostomy” in the Search field and click “Apply”.

Look out for new procedures coming soon!
