Registered and non-registered clinical skills

UHB staff

We deliver several clinical skills courses regularly throughout the year. These include:

• arterial blood gas sampling
• use and care of a central venous access device
• 12-lead ECG recording
• Intravenous therapy
• male urethral catheterisation
• peripheral venous cannulation
• venepuncture (phlebotomy)

If you would like to attend a course, please book in advance via easylearning. Most courses have an accompanying Moodle module which will you will need to complete and pass before attending a face-to-face classroom session.

We can offer bespoke courses to departments that need to upskill or train a significant number of staff due to clinical demand. We also have a large inventory of clinical skills equipment, mannequins and training devices, which we can loan out to UHB teams on a short-term basis.

External providers

External providers are welcome to book rooms, facilities and equipment in our clinical skills centres at Good Hope, Heartlands, Solihull and Queen Elizabeth hospitals.
