Phlebotomy Course

Phlebotomy Training Course

Learn to take blood safely, confidently, and competently.

Phlebotomy is one of the most in-demand skills in healthcare. Every hospital, GP surgery, clinic, and private provider needs people who can take blood safely — yet it's a skill you simply cannot learn from a video. That's why this course is built around real, supervised, hands-on practice on mannequins.

Delivered face-to-face by experienced healthcare professionals, this practical training takes you from the underlying theory through to performing venepuncture with correct technique — so you leave competent, confident, and ready to use your new skill.

What you'll learn:

• Anatomy and physiology for phlebotomy — veins, vein selection, and sites to avoid

• Infection prevention and control — hand hygiene, PPE, and safe sharps handling

• Equipment explained — needles, vacutainer systems, butterflies, and when to use each

• The correct order of draw and why it matters

• Step-by-step venepuncture technique — from patient identification to sample labelling

• Communication and consent — putting anxious patients at ease

• Managing complications: failed attempts, haematoma, fainting, and difficult veins
