The programme is delivered under the direction of a Consultant ENT Surgeon, supported by experienced clinical trainers who specialise in ENT. These clinicians have years of experience performing microsuction in clinical practice including the NHS.

Yes. Where clinically appropriate, delegates will observe and may perform supervised microsuction on real patients during training or shadowing. Otherwise you may train on your peers.
This is a key differentiator from many courses that only use models.

On successful completion, delegates should be able to safely assess patients, perform microsuction, recognise red flags, follow infection control procedures, and manage documentation. Competency sign-off is available for those who demonstrate readiness.
