SUMMARY:Blood Collection - Perform venous blood collections
DESCRIPTION:Date\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganiser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nValue for Organisations \n\n\n\nDevelop the technique to safely collect blood from patients and learn the importance of correctly collecting patient data relevant for clinical documentation. Understand blood collection and how to choose the appropriate equipment with practical demonstration\, and discussions around managing possible complications. \n\n\n\nThe median cubital vein\, located in the cubital fossa at the front of the elbow\, is the most common site for blood collection. It is close to the skin’s surface and has minimal nerve supply\, making it an ideal location for safe venipuncture.  \n\n\n\nThe Perform Blood Collection Course (HLTPAT002) is evidence-based and focuses on teaching best practices for both patient care and clinician safety. This course equips students with the essential knowledge and skills to confirm collection requirements\, prepare the client and equipment\, and perform routine blood collections in a clinical setting. \n\n\n\nYour assessment journey includes theoretical content\, diverse assessment questions—ranging from multiple choice to interactive questions and answers—and a practical workplace activity involving the completion of blood collection procedures. There is a mandatory requirement to complete a minimum of 15 different successful blood draws in your workplace or at a facility with which you have a mentoring arrangement. \n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes \n\n\n\n\nIdentify and obtain clinical and personal relevant data for blood collection\n\n\n\nChoose the appropriate equipment for blood collection\n\n\n\nPerform the blood collection procedure\n\n\n\nDiscuss the considerations that influence the correct selection of blood collection equipment including size and type of needle and collection site\n\n\n\nPerform post blood collection procedures including patient care\, documentation and follow up\n\n\n\nTrouble shoot problems\n\n\n\nDiscuss and manage possible complications\n\n\n\n\nRegister early as places are limited and will fill quickly. \n\n\n\nFor further information\, please visit Blood Collection Courses | The Benchmarque Group
