(latest NCVER data)Training in skin puncture collection, delivered through HLTPAT003 Perform capillary blood collections, helps collectors obtain small capillary samples safely from clients of different ages, including children who need supportive holding and careful volume limits. With HLTPAT003 training materials, RTOs can add a focused capillary collection unit to pathology programs that already cover venepuncture.
Learners develop skills in confirming collection requirements, selecting sites based on the clinical request and client age, using warming devices, positioning clients with supportive holding, determining minimum volumes, puncturing the skin with an approved lancet, maintaining sample integrity, labelling samples and preparing them for transit.
Spare your team the work of writing skin puncture procedures by using our HLTPAT003 RTO training materials. Purchase RTO materials and give trainers HLTPAT003 training resources suited to collections from children and adults.
Packaged for focused delivery, the HLTPAT003 learning materials provide a prepared foundation for performing capillary blood collections. Purchase RTO materials to save development time and start with HLTPAT003 RTO training materials your team can align with its testing laboratory’s requirements.
Check the latest unit requirements on training.gov.au before delivery. Your team should contextualise and validate these HLTPAT003 training materials for its learner cohort, delivery model and selected compliance environment. Use the supplied mapping as a starting point when reviewing your HLTPAT003 materials against the Standards for RTOs.
HLTPAT003 Perform capillary blood collections covers confirming collection requirements, preparing the client and equipment and collecting capillary blood using specific collection criteria, techniques and equipment. It applies to people whose job role includes capillary blood collection in collection centres, hospitals or other health care environments.
The unit addresses five core areas:
The tasks are designed around collecting blood by skin puncture from at least three different people of varying ages, following technical, infection control and safety procedures. Your team should confirm suitable clients are available during placement.
Yes. The content covers supportive holding, volume limits based on age and weight and site selection for different ages. Trainers can add local policies on children in the workplace and mandatory reporting.
Yes. The editable files allow your team to add testing laboratory volume requirements, collection device details and labelling rules where contextualisation is permitted.
They can. The materials can be contextualised for short courses or full qualifications, provided your training and assessment strategy still meets the unit requirements. They are developed as compliant learning resources, but validation remains your responsibility.
Yes. Free samples let your team review structure and presentation before you purchase RTO materials.
