Phlebotomy Workshop for PEI Healthcare Workers

The workshop gives you a full day of supervised blood collection practice in Charlottetown, with an instructor checking your site selection, needle angle and tube handling at every attempt.

Theory is kept short so most of the day is spent at the training arms, working with the vacutainer and butterfly systems used for routine adult draws.

The workshop runs at a training venue in Charlottetown. The full address comes with your registration confirmation, so you can plan the drive and parking before the day.

The room is set up with simulation arms and collection supplies, so you practise at your own station instead of watching from the back of a lecture hall.

Workshop or Certificate Program?

This workshop is for people who already work in healthcare and need blood collection as one more skill. If you are starting a new career as a phlebotomist, the Phlebotomy Certificate Program in Charlottetown adds online theory over three weeks and prepares you for the CPT exam.

The Phlebotomy Workshop Hub lists every city where the one-day workshop runs.

Who This Workshop Is For

The Charlottetown workshop suits:

Nurses and allied health staff who collect blood as part of their role
Clinic, home care and long-term care staff who take samples on the job
Healthcare workers returning to practice who want to refresh their technique
Anyone who needs hands-on venipuncture practice but not a full MLA/T diploma
Medical students and internationally educated health professionals living on the Island

Note: This workshop does not prepare you for work as a medical laboratory assistant or technologist. Your employer and, where it applies, your regulatory college decide whether blood collection is part of your role.

Travelling In for the Day

Participants come in from across the Island, from Summerside, Kensington and O’Leary in the west to Montague and Souris in the east, as well as Stratford and Cornwall next to the city.

Because everything happens in one day, it is a single trip rather than weeks of travel. From New Brunswick, the Confederation Bridge brings you onto the Island at Borden-Carleton, and from Nova Scotia the Wood Islands ferry runs from Caribou in season.
