Administration of Suppositories Training – HEALTH13
Our administration of suppositories training course is aimed at staff working in a care setting with clients who require support. This 3 Hour course enables staff to gain a greater understanding of the use of suppositories and the knowledge and skills necessary to safely administer them to someone in your care.
“I’ve been on a first aid course at the uni of Bristol for the last 3 days with Acorn. I just wanted to email to say that the Acorn trainer gave us some of the best first aid training I’ve ever experienced (and honestly, some of the best teaching I’ve ever received full stop) – everyone I spoke to during the course agreed with me that he was engaging, patient, personable and knowledgeable. The time passed so quickly because it was clear how much he cared and how much he wanted to give us his knowledge, not just because it was his job but because he, personally, wanted us to be well equipped to give people first aid in real life. Thank you for sending him! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to my colleagues, friends and family, both as a trainer and a first aider.”
