Cannulation & Phlebotomy Course Information
Empower yourself with essential clinical skills for confident patient care.
Clinical Edge Academy offers specialised training programmes designed to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to perform cannulation and phlebotomy procedures safely and effectively.
Our courses are ideal for nurses, healthcare assistants, phlebotomists, and allied health professionals seeking to enhance their skills in vascular access and blood collection.
Clinical Sign-off
While our course provides a strong foundation, final sign-off for practice will come from your specific trust or employer. This ensures you're familiar with their internal protocols, which can vary slightly between organisations.
Engaging Learning
Our interactive course is packed with team games, quizzes, and even a chance to win prizes! It's a fun and effective way to learn.
Expert Training
We follow the strictest WHO guidelines and UK best practices. However, some trusts and hospitals might have specific preferences like cannula types, needles, or post-draw procedures (gauze vs. cotton ball). These are simply different approaches, not right or wrong. We'll prepare you for this variety.
Certification
To receive your CPD certificate, you'll need to pass a short, non-intimidating quiz at the end of the course. It's designed to ensure you've grasped the key concepts.
