Clinical Services
Ultrasound Guided Cannulation and Venepuncutre
At Precision IV Access, we specialise in ultrasound-guided cannulation and venepuncture. Using the latest portable ultrasound technology, we can visualise veins in real time, ensuring accurate placement and reducing the stress and discomfort often associated with difficult or repeated attempts.
Why Ultrasound Matters
- Accuracy: We can identify the best vein, even in clients with fragile, hidden, or scarred vessels.
- Comfort: Fewer attempts mean less pain, bruising, and anxiety.
- Safety: Ultrasound guidance helps avoid complications by providing a clear view of the vessel and surrounding tissue.
- Confidence: Patients and clinicians alike benefit from reliable, first-time IV access.
Who It’s For
- Private individuals who need reliable access for infusions or treatments.
- Clinics requiring skilled support for cannulation and blood collection.
- Carers and families managing clients with difficult access needs.
Our Approach
We focus exclusively on vascular access — not broad blood panels or diagnostic services — which means we bring dedicated skill and attention to each procedure. Every appointment is delivered by a nurse with extensive NHS vascular access experience and advanced ultrasound training.
In short: hospital-grade vascular access, delivered wherever you need it
PICC & Midline Placement
At Precision IV Access, we provide peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC lines) and midline catheters as part of our advanced vascular access service. These procedures are delivered by an experienced registered nurse under hospital service-level agreements (SLAs) and CQC governance, ensuring the highest standards of safety and accountability.
What We Offer
- PICC Line Insertion
- For patients requiring medium- to long-term intravenous access.
- Suitable for chemotherapy, long-term antibiotics, parenteral nutrition, or frequent treatments.
- Inserted using ultrasound and ECG tip confirmation where appropriate.
- Midline Placement
- For patients needing reliable IV access for days to weeks.
- Ideal for IV antibiotics, hydration, or treatments unsuitable for peripheral cannulas.
- Inserted under ultrasound guidance to improve accuracy and reduce complications.
Our Approach
- Ultrasound-Guided: All lines are placed under real-time ultrasound, minimising complications and ensuring correct vessel choice.
- Governance Framework: Procedures are carried out under agreed hospital SLAs and CQC oversight, maintaining the same governance standards as inpatient care.
- Expertise: Performed by an experienced NMC-registered nurse with full professional indemnity insurance and advanced vascular access training.
- Aftercare: Secure dressings, flushing protocols, and care instructions provided, with clear escalation pathways if further care is needed.
Who We Support
- Private clients needing hospital-grade vascular access outside of the hospital setting.
- Clinics and research organisations requiring professional vascular access support.

In short: safe, expert vascular access — delivered where you need it.
