Welcome to the National Tracheostomy Safety Project website
This site contains the resources developed by the UK National Tracheostomy Safety Project.
We have collaborated widely with the key stakeholders in tracheostomy care and developed guidance by consensus. These resources are supported by extensive e-learning packages developed with the Department of Health e-learning for healthcare project.
Since 2012 we have worked with the Global Tracheostomy Collaborative to improve care for patients around the world. The GTC launched worldwide in 2014.
