VeinTrain FlatPack simulation vein with a cannula on its training pack

VeinTrain would like to thank Dahabshil Bank International for its support for vascular-access training in Somaliland (Horn of Africa), alongside Edna Adan University & Hospital.

Supporting structured learning

Sarah’s partnership narrative describes support for clinicians to access structured training. VeinTrain’s contribution is the learning pathway and the support around it; the local clinical organisation retains responsibility for supervision, policy and final competency sign-off.

A longer-term ambition

The narrative also sets out an ambition to develop local training capacity further. The form, scope and timing of any next phase need to be agreed with the partners. This article does not announce an operational Platinum Centre, a delivery date or a new funded programme.

Keep recognition accurate

This acknowledgement recognises the support described in the existing partnership record. It does not state funding totals, clinician numbers or measured patient outcomes. Any further collaboration would need its own agreed scope and arrangements.

A VeinTrain certificate documents training completion; it does not replace local employer competency sign-off, local policy, supervision or scope of practice.
