Apprenticeships and phlebotomy

How apprenticeships work, and how to find one that includes venepuncture.

How apprenticeships work

An apprenticeship is a job with training built in: you work under supervision and spend part of your time on structured learning, then complete an end-point assessment.

Phlebotomy in apprenticeships

Venepuncture may be part of some healthcare apprenticeships. Check the apprenticeship standard and ask the employer whether taking blood is part of the role.

Finding vacancies

In England, apprenticeships are advertised on the government's Find an apprenticeship service, and NHS apprenticeships also appear on NHS Jobs.
