Venepuncture is the most invasive procedure performed in health care settings. Blood Samples are collected for a variety of reasons including, laboratory analysis to diagnose a condition, monitor the ongoing treatment of a patient and to remove blood for the purpose of transfusion.It has also been recognised that blood collection practices, health care practitioner’s (HCP) skills and experience, techniques and knowledge vary across the healthcare spectrum.
