Abstract
This article explores the new Nursing and Midwifery Council Code (2008) in relation to venepuncture and, through analysing each clause, will present key considerations for good practice. The skill of venepuncture is discussed and, using a scenario, will review the technique and the impact of the Code on the practitioner. Any clinical skill requires safe and competent practice; it is hoped that this article will aid practitioners involved in undertaking venepuncture to reflect on their skills and knowledge, and to review best practice.
