Take blood samples safely and appropriately!

Are you a health care professional looking to improve your skills for taking blood samples? You have come to the right place! The centre Annie Barr International is publishing on Emagister.co.uk a new course for Phlebotomy (Venepuncture) Training.

This Phlebotomy and Venepuncture training equips delegates with the skills and knowledge needed to take blood safely and appropriately.

It is intended for Nurses, Health Care Assistants and Phlebotomists in primary care, the community, hospitals or nursing homes. This interactive course involves a practical session on performing blood tests. Each delegate will leave with a competence-based framework that will help them develop their skills through continuous practice.

This course is accredited by the Royal College of General Practitioners. Upon completion, candidates will be awarded a certificate of attendance and 6 CPD points. And a recommendation rate of over 98% attests to the quality of this course!

The course will be delivered by a qualified healthcare professional with clinical and teaching experience. During this full day course (9.30 am to 4:00pm) you will have a theoretical section and a practical session, that will be carried out on dummy arms and will not involve live blood draws.

Learn more about this course by contacting Annie Barr International through Emagister.co.uk.
