PTS work with One Awards to offer our Basic Phlebotomy Course which is a two day course, One day Advanced course, Clinical Experience course and a one day Point of Care Testing (finger prick) course.
The Basic Course runs over two days, normally over a weekend. By the end of it you will have all the necessary basic skills to work as a Phlebotomist.
The Clinical Experience course allows you the chance of real-world phlebotomy and will give you a chance to practice taking blood from patients, under the supervision of a mentor.
The Point of Care Testing (finger prick) will teach you how to take and analyse samples of capillary blood taken using a safety lancet and a point of care analyser
Our Advanced Phlebotomy course is open to those who have taken the Basic phlebotomy course and have experience taking blood. Learners will be shown and taught how to take blood from the feet and hands of patients. They will also be taught the proper use of butterfly system and how to deal with more difficult patients.
