As an invasive procedure, venepuncture and cannulation carries risks such as infection, nerve damage, and vessel trauma. Proper training ensures healthcare professionals can perform these procedures safely, maintain aseptic techniques, reduce complications, and enhance patient comfort and outcomes. This elearning features detailed videos to demonstrate good practice in relation to venepuncture, cannulation and the collection of blood cultures.
The advantages of our elearning module on venepuncture and cannulation
Venepuncture and cannulation is an everyday procedure, but as you’d expect with any healthcare procedure, it needs to be carried out with the utmost care and attention to detail. Not least because it can give us so much information about the condition of the patient. That’s why our module on this topic is designed to be jargon-free and impactful, geared towards imparting essential information in the most engaging way.
The importance of carrying out safe procedures, regularly
Blood needs a very precise balance in order for our bodies to work well. And blood tests are done regularly to check how a body is coping with illness, injury, inflammation, infection and some types of medication. Where blood tests are abnormal, it can provide a good indication of how best to treat the patient, so having teams prepared and trained in best practice is essential.
be able to explain the process of preparing the patient, assessing the vein, selecting the correct device and performing the procedure
