Learning unit contents
The aim of the course is to explore all aspects of specimen collection, particularly the pre-analytical phase during which many errors can occur, as well as the analytical and post-analytical phases.
All types of equipment available for specimen collection will also be covered, along with the main rules of asepsis.
Practical work (lab sessions):
Performing blood draws using a needle, a butterfly needle, and placing various types of venous catheters on artificial and human arms.
The ultimate goal is to apply specimen collection techniques from both a theoretical and practical perspective.

Hospital hygiene
The prevention of infection risks related to healthcare is now considered an integral part of the broader set of measures aimed at ensuring the quality of care, by improving the safety of both patients and healthcare professionals.
This course will specifically address the following topics:
- General precautions in the context of performing and handling biological specimens
- Aseptic recommendations during the collection of biological samples
- Prevention of exposure incidents involving blood and other biological fluids
