NDIS Approved Competence
In today's NDIS landscape, support teams are increasingly involved in providing care for people with complex medical conditions, including those requiring mechanical ventilation or specialized respiratory support. Proficiency in ventilation and airway management is a high intensity requirement, and this equips you with the skills and knowledge needed to collaborate effectively with the broader healthcare teams, including respiratory therapists and physicians. This interdisciplinary approach fosters better person-centred care coordination and optimises treatment plans, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes and a safer home environment. In summary, training in ventilation and airway management is a fundamental competency for nurses and support workers, enabling you to deliver high-quality care, respond to emergencies, and work seamlessly within the healthcare team to enhance longevity and well-being.
12 Monthly Refresher Required by NDIS
The skills and knowledge in High Intensity supports present some of the highest risks for participants.
