IV Therapies Theory

Kia ora, welcome to the Intravenous (IV) Therapy Programme for Te Toka Tumai Auckland District Health Board. This programme is designed to ensure the safe practice of people administering IV therapies at Auckland DHB.


This course covers the theoretical aspects of IV therapy, and complements the IV Therapy Skill Validation course. 1.5 hours of CPE are awarded for completing this course.


To independently administer IV therapy at Auckland DHB, you must first have your skill validated in practice. This should be completed within six weeks of starting in a role that requires you to administer IV therapy.
