This is a face-to-face course
This engaging day-long program promises not only a thorough grounding in the theoretical aspects of phlebotomy but also provides ample opportunity for practical, hands-on learning.
Course Materials and Support:
Training materials provided on the day. A workbook with competencies for post-course supervised practice is included.
Post-Course Recommendations:
It's suggested that participants undergo a period of supervised practice in their work setting to reinforce skills learned during the course. The workbook should be used as a guide for skill development and competency assessment in their respective work environments. This structure is designed to be inclusive, focusing on primary care contexts, and emphasizes the importance of practical experience, making it ideal for a wide range of participants.
