FAQ

WHO IS THIS COURSE SUITABLE FOR?

This course is suitable for healthcare professionals who are beginning their pathway in ear care or those looking to refresh and formalise their otoscopy skills. It is designed for clinicians who need to perform ear examinations safely, correctly, and with sound clinical judgement under supervision.

WHAT WILL I LEARN ON THE COURSE?

You will learn how to carry out safe and effective otoscopy, including ear anatomy, recognition of normal and abnormal findings, identification of red flags, and appropriate referral decision making. The course also covers infection control, consent, patient preparation, and safe examination techniques, giving you both technical skill and clinical context.

IS THE COURSE PRACTICAL OR THEORY-BASED?

The course combines focused theory teaching with supervised, hands-on practical training. Knowledge is built first, followed by trainer demonstration, supervised practice, and formal observation assessment.

DO I NEED OTOSCOPY EXPERIENCE?

No prior otoscopy qualification is required to attend, but delegates must work within appropriate supervision and governance arrangements when applying the skill in practice.

HOW IS COMPETENCE ASSESSED?

Competence is assessed through direct observation during supervised practical work. Delegates receive individual performance feedback and complete structured documentation exercises, including clinical note writing and escalation decisions. Every delegate is observed and coached to ensure safe and consistent otoscopy technique.

IS LUNCH PROVIDED?
