We are pleased to introduce our cannulation course which is suitable for all staff from a variety of settings for whose role would require undertaking cannulation.

This course will introduce candidates to the skills and knowledge required to undertake this procedure. This course can also be used as a skills refresher for staff who wish to refresh and update their knowledge and skills

Completion of this course does not constitute a “licence to practice”. While the course will give you the skills required to undertake wound closure, it is down to your employer (i.e. the organisation that you wish to use these skills within) to ensure they have the correct governance and insurances in place for you to undertake the wound closure. This course has however been widely recognised by a number of employers across the NHS and Private and Independent Sectors.
