Phlebotomy in Independent Practice

You’re already trained.

Now you need to practice independently – the right way.

Moving from employed phlebotomy into self-employed or private practice isn’t just a mindset shift. It’s a regulatory, legal, and professional one.

Most phlebotomists don’t struggle with finding the veins and getting the blood, they struggle with:

• Knowing whether they need CQC registration
• Understanding insurance requirements
• Registering with laboratories correctly
• Setting up safely, compliantly, and professionally
• Avoiding costly mistakes that put their work and reputation at risk

Phlebotomy in Independent Practice (PIP) is the course that exists to close that gap.

 

What this course is (and what it isn’t):

• This is NOT a blog.
• It’s NOT generic business advice.
• It’s NOT guesswork or “what worked for me”

This is a stuctured, professional course designed specifically for phlebotomists who want to move into independent practice in the UK – with clarity and confidence

It shows you how to set yourself up properly from day one.

 Who this course is for:

This course is for you if you are :

• A trained phlebotomist
• Ready to work independently or privately
• Serious about patient safety and professionalism
• Wanting to avoid compliance mistakes
• Looking for clear, accurate guidance rather than opinions and legal jargon

This course is NOT for people looking for shortcuts, loopholes, or quick fixes.

 What You Will Learn:

Module 1 – What Changes with Independent Practice

• What “independent practice” actually means in phlebotomy
• The responsibilities that shift when you’re no longer employed
• Where phlebotomists commonly get caught out

Module 2 – CQC Registration (clear, honest guidance)

• Do you need CQC registration?
• Understanding the role of the Care Quality Commission
• Finding, completing, and submitting your application forms

Module 3 – Insurance

• Types of insurance that are relevant to phlebotomists
• What insurers expect from independent practitioners
• Common mistakes that may invalidate your cover
• How to choose appropriate professional protection

Module 4 – Lab Registration and Working Relationships

• Registering correctly with laboratories
• New skills and techniques that you’ll need to learn: centrifugation, separation, freezing, refrigeration, despatch and couriers
• Understanding your responsibilities once samples leave your hands
• Consent, traceability, and professional accountability
• Communicating professionally with labs

Module 5 – Policies, Procedures, and Professional Standards

• What policies you genuinely need (and done-for-you templates)
• Why documentation protects you as much as your client
• Keeping standards high without overcomplicating things

Module 6 – Setting Yourself Up to Be Taken Seriously

• Presenting yourself as a professional independent practitioner
• Clinical standards, boundaries, and decision-making
• Avoiding the “grey areas” that cause problems later

Why this course exists:

Many phlebotomists are excellent clinically, but are left unsupported when they step outside employment.

This course exists because:

• Independent phlebotomy can be done well
• Standards matter
• Guessing isn’t good enough when people trust you with their blood

You don’t need to work it out alone.

What makes PIP different?

• Written and taught by a practicing professional
• Based on real-world experience, not just theory
• Clear, honest guidance – including when NOT to do something
• Focused on safety, compliance, and professionalism
• Designed to protect both you and your future clients

Gold standard isn’t an add-on here – it comes as standard.
