Phlebotomy Training Course in London
Learn the theory of safe blood collection and practise venepuncture techniques with experienced tutors. Medax’s two-day phlebotomy course combines online theory with supervised practical training in Harrow and welcomes beginners as well as healthcare professionals.
📍 Medax Training Centre · 166 College Road, Harrow HA1 1BH · Practical skills taught on training arms
Start learning phlebotomy with confidence.
Phlebotomy is the collection of blood samples for clinical testing. Safe practice involves more than inserting a needle: patient identification, consent, infection prevention, correct equipment selection, specimen labelling and sharps disposal are all essential. Our structured course introduces these responsibilities before supervised skills practice.
The current Medax programme combines Day 1 online theory and Day 2 onsite practical training in Harrow. Practice is delivered with training equipment and simulation arms. A certificate is awarded on successful completion, but course attendance alone does not guarantee employment, clinical competency sign-off for every employer, or independent authorisation to take patient blood.
- Beginners and career changers exploring healthcare roles
- Healthcare assistants, support workers and care staff
- Nursing students and Nursing Associates
- Internationally trained healthcare professionals
- GP practice staff and other healthcare team members
