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
