About this course
This intensive, hands-on workshop equips healthcare professionals with the essential knowledge and procedural skills required for safe preparation and insertion of Central Venous Catheters (CVCs). Delivered by experienced NHS clinicians, the course integrates focused theoretical teaching with ultrasound-guided practical sessions using high-fidelity manikins and vascular access simulators. The course follows high standards for vascular access training and emphasises sterile technique, ultrasound guidance, and patient safety.
The half-day workshop is structured to cover core principles through focused theoretical presentations, live demonstrations of ultrasound-guided technique, and supervised hands-on practice. During practical sessions, participants will perform Internal Jugular (IJV) and Subclavian approaches on manikins, with femoral vein access discussed in detail during theory.
Learning objectives include understanding indications, contraindications, and device selection for CVC insertion; reviewing anatomy and site selection; applying infection control principles; recognising and managing insertion-related complications such as arterial puncture, pneumothorax, and line malposition; performing ultrasound-guided CVC insertion using the Seldinger technique; and understanding post-insertion care and documentation.
All participants receive a Kung Medics Certificate of Completion, suitable for training portfolios, ARCP evidence, and professional appraisals. Tea and light refreshments are included. Places are limited to ensure maximum individual practice and direct feedback. Payment via Klarna in 3 instalments is available (subject to eligibility).
