This half day course is for any clinician working in primary care who will be undertaking ear care and possible irrigation in the workplace. It will revisit the theory of ear care, exploring the anatomy and physiology of the ear and common ear presentations.
There will be theoretical learning for assessment of the ear with accurate use of the otoscope to enable thorough examination. The principles of preparing an ear for irrigation will be discussed, but this will not incorporate the practical process of irrigation, which requires additional training.
A competency framework will be provided for support of learning to examine the ear and sign off within the workplace.
