Overview
Infection, Prevention and Control Training – This half day blended learning course allows participants to demonstrate theoretical and practical simulation within a classroom environment.
This training course is intended to provide a broad understanding of the accountability and responsibility for infection control using principles of ASEPSIS and ANTT.

Why Is Infection Control Important?
The potential human and financial burden of health care associated infections (HCAIs) and AMR is immense and is a priority area for health and public health around the world. 
The impact of infection for the patient can range from superficial to life threatening, and includes social, psychological and physical effects. 
Patients may suffer pain, require additional interventions, or experience extended length of stay and long-term physical effects as a result of infection.
Aseptic technique is highlighted as an essential component in infection prevention programmes. Ability to undertake aseptic technique is an important clinical skill for all health professionals, especially nurses and midwives. 
Aseptic technique is used to support procedures such as cannulation, insertion of urinary catheters, blood cultures, wound dressings and administration of intravenous drugs.

Our venepuncture training course allows learners to undertake theory-based simulated practice in a classroom environment.
Overview
This ½ day (3 hour) blended learning course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of venepuncture theory and practical skills through simulation exercises in a classroom environment. 
Our expert trainers will guide you through the latest techniques, equipment, and safety protocols in venepuncture, and provide personalised feedback to ensure that you are fully prepared to perform this important procedure in real-world settings. Whether you are new to healthcare or seeking to refresh your skills, our Venepuncture Training course is the perfect opportunity to develop your knowledge and confidence in this critical area.

Why Is It Important?
Venepuncture is a common procedure in healthcare, but it is crucial that it is performed correctly to avoid potential complications such as haematoma, pain, and bruising for the patient. Practitioners are expected to use evidence-based practice to obtain blood samples efficiently and without causing any discomfort to the patient. If the sample is not collected correctly, it may not yield a valid test result, which can have serious consequences for patient care. 
Therefore, it is essential for healthcare professionals to receive comprehensive training in venepuncture, including theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and patient-centred communication, to ensure that they can perform this critical procedure confidently and safely, while minimising patient discomfort and anxiety.
Venepuncture Training Session Outline
Overview of venepuncture: indications, contraindications, and potential complications
Anatomy and physiology of blood vessels and the importance of proper patient positioning
Infection prevention and control principles, including hand hygiene, PPE use, and disposal of hazardous waste
Equipment and materials required for venepuncture, including ANTT, needles and holders, and winged devices
Step-by-step demonstration of venepuncture technique using both needle and holder and winged devices, with a focus on minimising patient discomfort and ensuring a valid blood sample
Practical skills development through simulation exercises using a model arm, with guidance and feedback from experienced trainers
Aimed At
Our Venepuncture Training course is aimed at all healthcare professionals, regardless of their specialty or setting. Whether you are a beginner looking to acquire new venepuncture skills or an experienced practitioner seeking to enhance your knowledge and improve your practice, this course is the perfect opportunity to develop your confidence and proficiency in this essential clinical skill.
Facilitated By
Registered nurses with first-hand clinical experience.
How Many Can Attend Training?
We will run this course for a maximum of 10 delegates – however for larger groups we can either provide multiple trainers on the same day or run multiple days to get everyone trained.
We run open courses for individuals to attend or we attend your place of work to facilitate this training.
