Chest Drains
   Chest Drain program suite
Programs on insertion and management of chest drains for doctors and nurses are now available.

There are two components to each program:
  • online education
  • simulation training in your organisation.

These do not replace the need for supervision/observation of these procedures in patients prior to independent practice.

Access the links below for more information and to enrol in these programs. Free enrolment for individuals is generously funded in part by The Australian Commission of Safety and Quality in Health Care.
