This event, hosted by the National Tracheostomy Safety Project, is aimed at anyone involved in the care of patients with tracheostomies. It offers a unique opportunity for our multidisciplinary teams to come together, discuss key aspects of tracheostomy management in hospitals and in the communities, and explore ways to improve patient outcomes across the UK.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with Laura from ICST laura.wallis@icst.org.uk, who helped develop the toolkit and is organising this event.

 

Please note this is a separate event to the consensus meeting being held to discuss the principles of care document for adults living in the community with a tracheostomy.
