VeinTrain is driven to make things better for both patients and clinicians by providing standardised training and routes to competency for over a decade. Attending a VeinTrain course will ensure you are up to date with the latest techniques, complications, research and legislation. Sarah Phillips, the founder and MD set up the Vein Train to offer high quality training from high calibre trainers. All our trainers have been selected because of their extensive knowledge and experience because we know this enables them to offer you a high level of expertise.  We manage our days so that you get lots of exposure to practice from the beginning with your own VeinTrain Vein.  We have supervision levels of 1 trainer to 4 for your first practice.  The industry standard is 12!  Later on your group will be larger as you learn from each other, this is also key for your psychomotor control while you have access to our expertise. Professional Practice and Legal Considerations, Site Selection and Using the Equipment, Anatomy and Physiology, Potential Complications (including Infection Control) as well as Practical Application of skills on simulation equipment is all covered on this one day course. Techniques and Troubleshooting - Your "Vein Trainers" will draw on their extensive experience, knowledge and expertise to help each leaner find their own particular technique. You will remember your "Vein Trainer's" words for weeks, months and years to come when you are accessing veins on patients, mastering the equipment and troubleshooting difficult situations. You take away a certificate of attendance at the end of the day as well as the structured learning programme booklet to gain your competency through supervised practice and sign off.

Course programme

LIVE ONLINE Course content:

Vein Train was set up to deliver high quality training and education for these skills by a clinician (Sarah Phillips RN, Dip N,BA, MA) who leads work in this field nationally and has written the only book on this subject in the UK. (Essential Skills for Nurses: Venepuncture and Cannulation, Phillips, Dougherty, Collins. Blackwells-Wiley 2011 - pending publication)

The Venepuncture (venipucture/ phlebotomy) and Cannulation Course is a one day study day that provides essential theory while adopting a practical approach to facilitate skill application. You will practice throughout the day on simulation equipment as well as vein palpitation with your trainer or each other. Using the simulation arm and your own "Vein Train Vein" you will learn the foundations for using the equipment to access veins confidently and expertly. This course will ensure you are completely up to date with the latest techniques, complications, research and legislation.

Our study day will put you in a position to offer your patients the safest and best venepuncture and cannulation possible. After lots of practice using our simulation equipment you will leave the day ready to learn on patients. You will be given a passport to practice learning tool - The Vascular Access Network Structured Learning programme - that is recognised and widely adopted by the NHS and private sector (20,000). This will take you forward quickly and safely towards competency achievement.
