Butterfly technique training course

We have now developed a bespoke butterfly technique training course to provide individuals already trained in venepuncture with the additional skills and knowledge to competently and safely utilise the BD butterfly equipment.

Trainees will receive a wealth of knowledge and experience from one of our senior phlebotomy team. 

 

Course programme 

  • An hour of supervised 'dry lab' practice on a plastic training arm.
  • 3 hours of 1:1 supervised practical training to bleed live patients within the QMC or City blood taking room.
  • Certificate of competency in venepuncture using the BD butterfly technique - attained on live patients. This certificate will be valid for a period of one year from the date of successfully achieving the 10th competency using the butterfly technique

This 1:1 session is offered at a cost of £195
