Summary and Evaluation

The course has been built to serve as an introduction to the subject of venepuncture/phlebotomy for those approaching the practice for the first time. This course is also appropriate for existing workers in need of a refresher course or for those looking for a better understanding of modern phlebotomy practices.

On completion of the Phlebotomy/Venepuncture training course, we will provide the necessary competency proformas required to ensure safe and evidence-based clinical practice. This will then allow the Registered Provider to ensure mandatory competency assessments are completed within the workplace by a nominated mentor/supervisor.

If you need further advice regarding competency assessments or if you would like our Registered Nurse Trainers to provide onsite competency assessments then please do not hesitate to get in touch.
