The aim of the course is to support your development as a competent and safe practitioner in venepuncture and cannulation.
This course follows blended approach to learning, and forms the basis of your knowledge for competence. Learners will need to complete the theoretical aspects of the course online first and then attend a face to face practical skills session. The online theoretical module does not make you competent. You must be either assessed by your Clinical Practice Educator (CPE) or a recognised Band 6 Assessor. If you have evidence of prior competence, assessment may be deemed appropriate as a professional discussion with your Clinical Practice Educator (CPE) or a recognised Band 6 Assessor instead.

Welcome to the Frimley Health Theoretical module for the Placement and Care of Nasogastric Tubes in Adults Module
The aim of this course is to support your development as a competent and safe practitioner in insertion of NG tubes and the on-going care of patients with an NG tube. The course is a blended approach to learning, which means you will complete the theoretical aspects of the course online first and then attend an additional face to face practical session to complete the course.
This e-learning module alone does not make you competent, but forms the basis of your knowledge for safe insertion of NG tubes and considerations for on-going care for the patient.
After completing the module, you will need to practice the insertion of NG tubes in adult patients within your clinical areas under direct supervision. Once confident, you will then arrange an assessment by any Band 6 Nurse, Midwife or AHP who is competent in the skill itself and has either a Mentorship Course or recognised Practice Assessors Course, or the assigned Clinical Practice Educator (CPE) to become competent.
It is important to complete all sections and all of the resources in this module.
If you have prior evidence of competence, you will need to familiarise yourself with FH Policies and Guidelines related to this skill, and if deemed appropriate with the Clinical Practice Educator for your clinical area, you may be signed off competent with a professional discussion of clinical practice instead.
Once you achieved competency, you must provide the date of when you were assessed as competent to your CPE for them to update the Trust database.
This course covers:
- Anatomy and physiology related to NG insertion
- Indications and contraindications for NG insertion
- complications and how to reduce the risks involved with the insertion and management of an NG tube
- How to correctly perform NG insertion
- The national guidance for NGT placement and explain how this impacts on the professional and the care they provide
- Equipment needed to perform NG insertion
- Methods for confirming position of NG and actions if unable to confirm placement.
- Safe administration of medications via NG
- Using a feeding pump for NG feeding
- Documentation required for NG insertion and on-going care
- The importance of appropriate monitoring of the NG tube and further care and management of the patient with an NG tube
