This exciting one-day workshop combines the teachings of venepuncture and cannulation in one course. This workshop is aimed at NUH staff who are already familiar with both skills and can learn at a rapid pace, as the combined day has less time to practise than in the singular courses. In the morning session, participants will benefit from learning the theory behind their new skills, consisting of teaching on:
- Anatomy & physiology
- Consent
- Local policy & procedure
- Infection Control & Hazards
- Equipment
- Documentation
In the afternoon practical workshop, participants will benefit from being able to consolidate their knowledge and gain experience practicing on our simulation mannequin arms, in a safe, controlled environment under the supervision and guidance of our skilled senior interprofessional educator.
Who will benefit:
The course is for NUH nursing and allied health professionals that already have knowledge and experience with both skills.
Venue:
DREEAM Department, A Floor West Block, QMC Campus, Derby Road, Nottingham, NG7 2UH.

IMPORTANT: On completion of this workshop you will be required to have your competency assessed before independent practice. You MUST have access to a clinical area prior to attending this workshop. Please ensure your clinical area can support this process before booking, as we are unable to facilitate this, thank you.
Please be aware after this course you will be required to complete a BBraun online e-learning module, access instructions will be given on the day and ten supervised cannulations before clinical sign off, within your own clinical setting.
Please ensure that your line manager and a clinical area can support your competency sign off before attending the course, as this can not be supported by us.
