IV Cannulation and Administration of Radiopharmaceuticals
This course takes a blended learning approach that combines a theory component on our e-learning platform with attending a face-to-face simulation training assessment. You can attend the face-to-face simulation training assessment either in person at The Christie in our state-of-the-art clinical training centre, or virtually.
Please note, if you have no prior experience of cannulating, please book onto an in-person simulation training assessment.
