Aims
Improve tracheostomy knowledge, skills, and confidence to 80%; reduce adverse events; implement hybrid learning.
Background
Gaps in tracheostomy training led to adverse events and longer patient stays.
Methods
Hybrid training reduced time from 1.5 days to 2.5 hours; incorporated e-learning and simulations.
Results
Statistically significant improvements in confidence, knowledge, and psychomotor skills.
Conclusion
Successfully redesigned tracheostomy training, improving outcomes and standardizing care.
Lessons Learnt
Hybrid learning with simulations enhances training quality and safety outcomes.
