ENTONOX and pain management training

For nurses, paramedics, doctors and a host of healthcare professionals, understanding pain, its perception and the role of analgesia, is at the heart of improving pain management and the patient experience in a modern healthcare environment.

A wealth of information exists on pain management and pain relief, but for the busy healthcare professional, it’s a time consuming task to search the internet to gain this knowledge and continue to keep-up to date.

Now the task of learning has been made easier. BOC Healthcare has established a convenient form of training online. For the first time, BOC Healthcare has brought together all the essential information on pain, its management and analgesia, including ENTONOX, into a single comprehensive educational resource.

Here you will find everything you need to know about ENTONOX and its use, in a wide range of clinical settings. We are continually adding to this virtual educational resource and because it is centrally controlled it is an up-to-date and more cost-effective training solution.

TIP:  Turn your audio on before you start learning.

Flexible and convenient learning 

Delivering this training online means we can keep it up to date, and provide you with the flexibility to learn at your own pace.

The information is organised into to bite-sized learning modules, so that you can fit your learning time around your busy work schedule and don’t have to worry about squeezing your learning and understanding into a matter of a few hours or a single day.

Being a virtual resource means that all you need is a PC and good internet access, enabling you to choose where you learn, either in the comfort of your own home or at work, whichever is best for you.

Learning is continuous. Once registered, you stay registered, and can access the learning material as often as you like. This is not just a once time course, the material is there for you to continuously refer back to. We will let you know when updates have been made to the information or the clinical evidence summaries to keep you abreast of current developments.

The material has been designed as an interactive learning experience that will be both enjoyable and educational – with a range of videos and animations to enhance the audio explanations. This does mean a longer upload time for some of the larger modules - but the end result is well worth the few minutes wait.

Registration is free to healthcare professionals.
