IV Cannulation – Perform peripheral intravenous cannulation

Value for Organisations
Performing Peripheral Intravenous Cannulation (PIC) requires more than just sound knowledge and good technique, there is more to consider such as when to insert, cannula size, insertion site, and managing issues should they arise.

The Perform Peripheral Intravenous Cannulation Course (HLTHPS009) is evidence based and the techniques taught are designed to promote the best practice outcomes for patient care.
