Course Overview

This is the practical component of the IV Cannulation and Administration of Radiopharmaceuticals course. Before attending the Simulation Assessment, you must have successfully completed the theory and knowledge module on our elearning platform.

Delivered by The Christie PET-CT Academy’s specialist Clinical Skills team, this widely popular course teaches clinical staff to perform IV cannulations and administer radiopharmaceuticals in a safe learning environment.

The course takes a blended learning approach that combines an elearning course, followed by a face-to-face IV cannulation simulation training and assessment, and a workplace consolidation period before being signed off within your place of work to perform cannulations unsupervised.

The face-to-face aspect of the course can be conducted virtually or in person at The Christie in our state-of-the-art clinical training centre.

Learning outcomes

  • Learn to perform effective IV Cannulations and administer radiopharmaceuticals.
  • Understand vein and venous assessments.
  • Develop awareness of quality patient care and management, including complications, anaphylaxis, and ongoing care.
  • Understand how to accurately calculate tracer doses.
  • Learn how to effectively manage and clean up radioactive spills.

Intended Audience

Clinical Leads, Radiographers, Technologists and Clinical Assistants. 

Course Availability

The IV Cannulation and Administration of Radiopharmaceuticals Simulation Assessments are repeated monthly. Due to the one-to-one nature of the practical course, capacity is limited to three participants per virtual assessment and four per face-to-face assessment.

Course Duration

2-hours for the elearning modules plus 1-day for the simulation assessment.

Prerequisites

No previous IV Cannulation experience is required. As this is a blended course, all aspects of the elearning course must be completed before progressing to the face-to-face simulation assessment.

Course Requirements

A desktop computer or laptop with the following:

  • Web camera
  • Speakers
  • Microphone

Mobile phones and Tablets are not permitted as they do not provide the same functionality enabling participants to interact with the course effectively.

As this is an interactive course, if you do not have a device with a web camera, speakers and microphone, you will not be allowed to attend.

Please download the Zoom app rather than joining the call via a web browser as the app provides more functionality and a far more stable connection. You may need to speak to your IT department to assist and allow for the app to be installed.

Furthermore, it is crucial participants attending the course are in a private space free from interruptions and cannot be overheard so they can interact with the facilitators and other candidates. Multiple delegates are not allowed to join from a single computer.

In order to maintain the quality of the learning experience for everyone, delegates who are unable to meet these essential requirements will not be admitted to the assessment.

Course Sales

Places are funded for any organisation in England that is part of the NC1 contract, such as Alliance Medical and NHS NC1 PET-CT Staff.

For any person or organisation outside of the NC1 contract interested in accessing any of our courses from the UK, please contact the Academy to enquire about availability and course cost.

Unfortunately, this course is not available to international candidates.
