This fully online venepuncture course is designed to equip healthcare professionals with the essential knowledge and practical skills required for safe and effective blood collection. The course covers key topics including reviewing pathology request forms, selecting and using appropriate equipment, specimen collection techniques, and troubleshooting common issues. Clinical tips are provided throughout to support best practice. Learners will complete a knowledge quiz at the end of the module, and a certificate of completion will be awarded upon successful completion.

The ideal audience for this venepuncture course includes:

  • New clinical staff who require a non-accredited, flexible learning option to build confidence before supervised practice
