Aim
This unit is aimed at workers involved in the collection of capillary blood samples using either manual or automated lancets and testing of the sample where this is required. Caution must be applied with taking multiple samples from neonates or children under one-year-old, as venepuncture may be the preferred method depending on the type of sample and quantity required.
