🚀 COURSE CONTENT
Our Face-to-Face Paediatric Phlebotomy course teaches you best practices and hands-on techniques for taking blood from children and babies. You’ll learn how paediatric blood draws differ from adult phlebotomy — preparing you for both the technical and emotional aspects of working with younger patients.
Covered topics include:
📜 Consent and the law when working with minors
🧠 Understanding child and infant psychology
🩸 Key physiological differences in younger patients
💊 Pain relief methods for children
🛠️ Equipment commonly used in paediatric settings
🧪 Typical blood tests for babies and children
This course includes access to online learning material and a half-day face-to-face session where you’ll have the chance to get hands-on with real equipment and practice techniques in a safe and supportive environment.
👩⚕️ WHO IS IT FOR?
Perfect for experienced phlebotomists who want to extend their skill set to include:
🧒 Children
