About Venehaemo – Our Story
VeneHaemo was founded with one clear mission: to raise the standard of phlebotomy training through evidence-based education, hands-on practice, and patient-centred care.
Our inspiration comes from years of clinical experience, where safe venepuncture and correct blood sampling techniques are critical to patient safety, diagnostic accuracy, and overall quality of care. According to the Royal Marsden Manual of Clinical Nursing Procedures, venepuncture is a high-risk invasive procedure that must be performed with strict adherence to infection control, sharps safety, and anatomical knowledge to prevent complications.
A key focus of our training is the prevention of haemolysis, a common pre-analytical error caused by poor technique, which can compromise test results and require repeat sampling. By emphasising proper technique, correct tube handling, and the use of safety-engineered devices, our courses enhance venepuncture proficiency, protect patient safety, and reduce the need for repeat blood draws.
NICE guidelines and peer-reviewed research support our approach, highlighting the importance of practical competency assessments, patient communication, and evidence-based venepuncture methods to improve patient experience and reduce pre-analytical errors.
The name VeneHaemo reflects our core focus:
Vene – from venepuncture, the essential clinical skill of accessing a vein.
Haemo – from haematology, the science of blood and its role in health.
Our courses combine CPD-accredited learning, evidence-based techniques, and real-world practice, empowering both healthcare professionals and beginners to perform venepuncture confidently, safely, and in line with best practice guidelines.
Our vision: safer practice, better patient care, and improved diagnostic accuracy through world-class phlebotomy training.
About Venehaemo – Our Mission
At VeneHaemo, our mission is to deliver high-quality, evidence-based phlebotomy training that empowers healthcare professionals and beginners alike to perform venepuncture safely, confidently, and competently.
We aim to raise standards in clinical practice by combining hands-on skills development, patient-centred techniques, and the latest evidence-based guidance, including recommendations from the Royal Marsden Manual and NICE guidelines.
A key part of our mission is preventing pre-analytical errors such as haemolysis, which can compromise test results and lead to repeat blood draws. By teaching correct technique, proper handling of samples, and the use of safety-engineered devices, we help protect patient safety, improve diagnostic accuracy, and reduce workplace inefficiencies.
Beyond technical skills, we strive to build professional confidence, enhance communication with patients, and foster a culture of safety and competence in healthcare settings.
The difference we aim to make:
- Safer, more accurate blood sampling for patients
- Reduced incidence of repeat samples and errors
- Greater confidence and competence among healthcare staff
- Career development opportunities through CPD-accredited certification
