Our Entonox Awareness course gives you the basics on how to manage and deliver Entonox to a patient. Entonox is a prescription drug and completing this course will not give you the authority to buy, rent or administer Entonox but it will give all the skills to help a qualified person to administer Entonox and give you the skills to be trained with the practical side by an authorised person in your workplace.
Understanding how to use Entonox will allow you to assist in giving it to a patient by a qualified person. This course is part of our First Person On Scene blended online course.
The content of this and all our courses has been independently certified as conforming to universally accepted Continuous Professional Development (CPD) guidelines and come with a Certified CPD Statement as well as a ProTrainings Certificate and for online courses an Evidence Based Learning statement.
