Accredited Phlebotomy (Venepuncture) & Simulated Practice Training in Birmingham

Description - Overview of Phlebotomy (Venepuncture) & Simulated Practice Training

We are proud as a training organisation to be able to deliver this accredited course in small groups. We only allow a maximum of 6 learners to attend this course as this ensures our learners receive the appropriate amount of support and plenty of hands on opportunity to learn this healthcare skill with our Experienced Phlebotomy Trainer.

This training course is delivered by Healthcare Professionals with many years of on-the-job experience and who can guide you through the theoretical and practical elements of this essential healthcare skill, and answer any questions that may arise during your training.

We feel proud to be able to deliver training to smaller groups as we want our learners to experience a personalised and supportive training session allowing the Trainer to provide quality time and individualised support.

Venepuncture and phlebotomy go hand-in hand, so our courses cover both the puncturing of a vein (venepuncture) and the process of drawing blood from the venepuncture site (phlebotomy).

Our accredited training course is for new and existing healthcare staff (Beginners, Nurses, Senior Care Assistants and Medical staff ) that is required to take blood samples from service-users and who wish to learn Phlebotomy and Training as a new skill but already have healthcare experience, or for staff who have previously trained but require a refresher course to update their existing knowledge and require practical simulation in line with the latest best practice guidelines.

Once you have completed this course you will be able to complete our Phlebotomy (Venepuncture) Live Blood Draws - Competency (1 Day) Accredited Course. Follow the link below to book your place and for further information as we do have limited availability.
