This immersive study day was designed for Children’s Community Nursing teams. By attending these healthcare professionals were equipped with the necessary training for delivering paediatric central line care in the community. Not only did attendees benefit from updates on the latest standards, it also provided the opportunity to explore how to overcome delivery complications and improve Aseptic Non-Touch Techniques (ANTT). This hands-on training day left participants with updated knowledge on current procedures plus enhanced confidence for delivering safe and effective IV therapy for children and young people (CYP).
