Earcare, microsuction and irrigation course details
This combined course of e-learning modules and half-day in-person training covers both the theoretical and practical techniques required for removing earwax via microsuction and irrigation for patients, including hands-on exercises to help you get the most out of your training.
Microsuction and irrigation procedures involve removing earwax from the ear canal by specialist equipment and techniques.
You will learn the step-by-step procedures for each stage of the process and during the training you will perform supervised procedures initially on dummy heads and then upon live participants, in order to gain the expertise required to practice safely.
Your training will be provided by practising, experienced healthcare workers with the up-to-date knowledge and skills to help you become proficient in these techniques.
If you’re looking to expand your skill set or start a new career, our certified training program in safe ear wax removal is your opportunity to enter a £150 million pound a year market in the UK.
With approximately 2.3 million people suffering from ear wax build-up and traditional ear syringing deemed unsafe by NICE, there is a high demand for skilled professionals in this field. Our hands-on approach to teaching, led by experienced clinicians from the NHS and private sector, ensures maximum learning opportunities.
Don’t miss out on this chance to offer valuable services to customers in your area.
