Course information

Oxygen Therapy training is crucial for nurses and healthcare staff because it equips them with the skills to safely administer oxygen, monitor patient responses, and recognise potential complications. Proper training ensures that oxygen is delivered effectively to improve patient outcomes, particularly for those with respiratory issues.

Participants are continuously assessed throughout this Oxygen Therapy Training course, with the course syllabus covering such topics as:

  • Anatomy and physiology of respiration
  • Conditions that require oxygen therapy

Please note: A competency framework is included in this training. Competency is achieved in the workplace following the training. Each procedure needs to be signed off by a qualified, senior member of staff. The completed document can then be used to identify the individuals’ competence.
