To allow NHS Phlebotomists to place cannulas in Patients.
Phlebotomists In the NHS are currently treated as non-medical and as such they are unable to insert cannulas into patients. Doctors, student doctors and nurses all try and fail a number of times, this causes damage to patients veins and added stress on the patient.
To allow the Phlebotomists to become medical and thus allow them to place cannulas into patients will speed up infusions, less delays, less wasted needles and most importantly less stress and healthier patients.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about who is able to insert a cannula are a matter for the NHS and relevant professional medical bodies, not the Government or Parliament.
As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.
