Practical proficiencies in cannulation and venepuncture was held on Wednesday 14th of June in the Mary Seacole clinic room at Roehampton University. This provided a great opportunity to reconsolidate and strengthen my cannulation and venepuncture practice. Although I have done venepuncture and cannulation before, it was great to go over both again and in such detail. I really liked the detailed demonstration from both Luke and Nira, which was given before we practiced. There was so much care in delivering step by step processes and talking through each stage in detail that really resonated. It was nice to have our own mannequin arm each to practice on multiple times, without having to wait for someone to finish so you can use. This helped in the reconsolidation process as once we were shown we were given the opportunity to practice straight away. Overall, I would say this was a great learning experience and practice. It would be useful to have further venepuncture and cannulation practice sessions as I am not always given the opportunity to practice in placement. If the session arose again, I would like to think I have remembered the stages we covered within this session confidently.
