Competence in Intravenous Administration

Gain a certificate of competence in intravenous administration at a pace and time that fits in with your work commitments and home life. Having a recognised qualification in intravenous administration allows you to operate seamlessly in a variety of clinical environments, for example as a radiographer allowing you to administer iodinated contrast and radioisotopes in various imaging modalities

You must be a registered health care practitioner working within a diagnostic or therapeutic radiography department. Evidence will be required that your sponsoring department clinically supports you and that the work is supported by departmental work scheme and protocols. This will be evidenced by means of a learning contract. Your supervising educator (mentor) supporting your learning in practice must have the following training: College of Radiographers accredited certification of competence for Intravenous cannulation OR Certified in-house training of competence for Intravenous cannulation In both cases the supervising practice educator must be able to demonstrate compliance with regular auditing of standards of intravenous competence.
