VeinTrain Ltd Information

VeinTrain helps organisations, educators and trainers deliver venepuncture, phlebotomy and cannulation training at scale through a practical multi-platform learning solution. Our model includes the innovated VeinTrain simulator, online skills lab, Train the Trainer pathway and HALO programme, supporting the full journey from novice learning through rapid competency development and onward into workforce capability, governance, audit and quality assurance. Designed to reduce pressure on clinical supervisors and improve consistency, VeinTrain enables learners to practise, revisit and build confidence through structured online and practical learning. In some settings, users spend more than 80 hours in the online skills lab, replacing time that would otherwise rely heavily on busy clinical supervisors. This makes the system valuable both in established services and in low-resource settings where training capacity is limited. Built around real clinical challenges, including vascular access failure rates reported as high as 69%, VeinTrain supports safer practice, stronger patient experience and more efficient workforce development. Used across the UK and internationally, the system helps services strengthen standards, expand delivery and create sustainable training models without losing quality. Founded by published author Sarah Phillips, a senior NHS leader with nearly two decades of experience, VeinTrain offers a scalable route for healthcare teams, universities, independent providers and global partners seeking practical, high-quality vascular access training.
