Venepuncture & Cannulation Training

• What is Venepuncture & Cannulation Training

Venepuncture and cannulation training equips healthcare professionals with the knowledge and practical skills to safely access a patient's veins for blood sampling (venepuncture) or for the administration of fluids and medications (cannulation).

Course Outline:

• Understand the anatomy and physiology of veins, including the differences between veins and arteries, and apply this knowledge to site selection for IV therapy and venepuncture.
•  Demonstrate mastery of infection control practices, including aseptic non-touch techniques, to prevent complications such as phlebitis and infections.
•  Perform IV cannulation and venepuncture procedures confidently and accurately, adhering to safety protocols and evidence-based guidelines.
•  Recognise and manage complications associated with these procedures, such as hematoma formation, infiltration, and syncope.
•  Apply effective, patient-centred communication to ensure informed consent, comfort, and cooperation during procedures.
