Artificial Ventilation Training Course

Artificial ventilation aids or facilitates the breathing for patients who are unable to breathe independently. This Artificial Ventilation course gives clinical and specialist professionals knowledge about the role of artificial ventilation. This course takes between 1-2 hours to complete.

In England, over 80% of children in need have experienced at least one ACE. Understanding the long-term impact of ACEs can help staff in the education sector better provide trauma-informed care. Learners will gain an understanding of how to respond to cases of children or young people who have suffered from such experiences in their childhood.
