Venepuncture Training Evolves

How do you practice your venepuncture skills? Do you use an orange?

The orange, just like nearly all the current mainstream venepuncture training solutions, doesn't come close to reality and doesn't tell you if you hit the vein, how deep you inserted the needle, if you damaged the imaginary patient nor can it simulate an actual patient with a realistic 'look' and 'feel'.

Virtual Veins moves venepuncture training into a new era. With Virtual Veins you have:

  • Customisable metrics, so you can set the values that your student need to achieve and track their progress in insertion technique, depth of insertion, correct vein selection, etc.
  • A safe virtual environment where you can 'FEEL' the procedure.
  • Feedback to tell you how well you performed this time, last time or over a period of time.
  • Customisable scenarios to cover different situations and patient presentations.
  • No mounting costs of disposables.
  • Focused training with tutors able to concentrate on the students who need additional help or support.
  • The ability to export data to your own VLE/MLE if required.
  • The ability to track how long it takes a student to become proficient.


Find out how Virtual Veins can move your Venepuncture training into the future and save your institution money in the process.
