IIRRT Endorsement of IV Administration Course

Published: October, 28 2010

The IIRRT endorses intravenous administration courses at the following centres:

Diagnostic Imaging, UCD School of Medicine & Medical Science
Radiographers’ Education Group, St. James’s Hospital
Cork University Hospital / UCC Diagnostic Imaging department
Sligo University Hospital

However, members are invited to submit details of other IV administration courses to the IIRRT for endorsement. Course endorsement is particularly important for IIRRT members to ensure that full insurance cover will be provided under the group insurance scheme, as long as both of the following requirements are fulfilled:

1) Have undertaken an IV administration course that is endorsed by the IIRRT,

2) Have approval to perform IV injections under the local hospital IV administration protocol.

Course details should include:

Name of centre
Course date
Course duration
Course curriculum
Post course practice requirements, e.g., logbook evidence etc.

Approval of a course will be subject to an evaluation of the submitted course details to the usual address.
