We have collaborated with the NHS e-Learning for Healthcare (eLfH) and the Royal College of Anaesthetists e-Learning in Anaesthesia project (eLA) to develop seven self-directed modules. You can launch the modules direct from the NTSP website by clicking the links below. The modules are provided by eLfH and if you launch them directly from this website, you will see a warning that you are "Not connected to a learning management system. Your progress may not be saved." However, you can still complete the modules and generate a certificate at the end of the training. If you are a healthcare professional in the UK then you have the option to register with eLfH and access the training directly through eLfH. Some providers use the eLfH portal to record courses and training activities, particularly in NHS England.
See below for the direct access links and examples from the e-learning modules.
Module 1: Understanding tracheostomies
Module 2: Emergency management (tracheostomy & laryngectomy)
Module 3: Basic care, done well
Module 4: Emergency airway access (including tube types)
Module 5: The patient with a laryngectomy
Module 6: Talking, swallowing and decannulation
Module 7: Paediatric tracheostomies
Troubleshooting and links
You will see the highlighted warning message at the top of your screen when launching the e-learning directly from this website. This is simply to highlight that you are not within the eLfH environment and your progress will not be stored on the eLfH system. You can still complete the modules and generate a certificate at the end of the training. If you want to record your eCPD points and record your progress through these modules via the eLfH platform, follow this link to the eLfH website.
Depending on your browser version, sometimes the JAVA script doesn't like linking directly from the website. Please RIGHT-CLICK the links below and choose 'open link in new window' (not a new tab) if you are having trouble opening the modules.
