A Structured Ultrasound‐Guided Cannulation Course to Prepare Medical Students for Foundation Training
Our study highlights the need for structured, standardised US-PIVC training to reduce variability in clinical education. The programme improved confidence, proficiency and clinical efficiency while decreasing reliance on senior staff. Embedding mandatory training, logbook signoffs and simulation realism will enhance patient safety, procedural competency and preparedness for foundation roles.
