Effective training of healthcare professionals to acquire this skill is essential. Here, we report on the implementation of the USGC training across eight apheresis units in England. A 3‐h introductory training program was devised with theoretical and practical elements. This was followed by supervised USGC practices on any patient ≥ 18 years old, regardless of venous status. Data on all supervised USGC attempts were recorded and analyzed. Over an 11‐month period, 11 nurses were trained to USGC competency with another six nurses still in training, resulting in seven out of eight units having at least one USGC‐competent nurse. In one unit, USGC training has not started yet. Three hundred sixty‐one supervised USGC episodes on 168 patients and donors took place; of these, 178 were done for training purposes only on patients who had visible and palpable veins, 179 USGC were done on patients with difficult venous status and four were not recorded. The period from first supervised USGC to competency was a median of 45 days (Range: 17–166 days), with a median of 15 successful (Range: 10–30) and two unsuccessful (Range: 1–15) USGC being performed per trainee. The placement of 57 CVADs and 41 multiple cannulation attempts have been avoided. USGC is a useful tool to reduce the need for CVAD. Training across multiple apheresis units is a lengthy procedure, but it can be successfully implemented. 10.1002/jca.22149 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor |
