A successful service improvement project at Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust demonstrated that educational initiatives about peripheral lines decreased MRSA rates. The South Central Strategic Health Authority (SC SHA) advocated the design of a pilot project to improve peripheral cannulation in all its acute NHS Trusts; the Peripheral Line Training Project.

This poster publication presents the results of this initiative and was presented at the following conferences: IPS 2008, ANTT 2008.
