Ultrasound Guided Cannulation Course is a practical clinical skills workshop delivered by REACT Pathways, designed to help healthcare professionals develop the ability to perform ultrasound-guided peripheral vascular access in patients with difficult intravenous access.
Using ultrasound significantly improves first-pass success rates in challenging cannulation cases while reducing patient discomfort, complications and delays in treatment.
This course equips clinicians with the practical skills to identify vessels and safely insert cannulas under ultrasound guidance, supported by hands-on training in a supervised, interactive learning environment.
Difficult intravenous access is common in emergency and acute care settings and can delay treatment and increase patient discomfort.
Ultrasound-guided vascular access enables clinicians to:
This course provides clinicians with the skills and confidence to apply point-of-care ultrasound effectively in vascular access procedures.
Doctors working in emergency or acute careNurses performing vascular access proceduresAdvanced Clinical PractitionersParamedics and pre-hospital cliniciansAllied Health Professionals involved in acute careThis course is delivered as a half-day practical workshop, with participants attending either a morning or afternoon session. Training includes:
Theory refresherUltrasound equipment demonstrationHands-on practical trainingSupervised procedural practiceFaculty feedback and assessmentSmall group teaching ensures a high level of practical experience and individual support.
