Why This Exists
IV is the next clinical frontier.
Wellness, recovery, and aesthetic IV therapy are growing fast in New Zealand. The gap is not demand. The gap is competent, compliant practitioners.
The skill that opens up an entire modality
Cannulation is the threshold competency. Get it right, and the door to wellness IV, aesthetic IV therapy, and broader clinical IV services opens. Get it wrong, and you're managing painful patient experiences, infiltrated lines, and a confidence gap that holds your whole practice back.
Most NZ training in cannulation is built for hospital nurses doing cannulation as part of an inpatient shift. Useful, but not designed for the clinical context of an aesthetic or wellness clinic. The MObyJC IV Cannulation course is built specifically for the practitioner running independent or clinic-based IV services. NZ-aligned. NP-led. Structured for confidence from day one.
And it's the foundation underneath the broader IV Infusion Pathway, the next step in our IV curriculum. Cannulation comes first because it has to.
The hand that holds the cannula decides the experience. We make that hand confident.
The Curriculum
Four modules. Ten lessons.
Vein anatomy, NZ regulation, cannulation technique, infusion cocktails, complications, and practical sign-off. Built for the realities of a private clinic, not a hospital ward.
I. Module One Vein Anatomy, Physiology & NZ Regulation +
Before you insert a line, you need to understand what you're inserting it into, and what the law says about doing it. Module One builds the clinical and regulatory foundation the rest of the course sits on.
- L1What is a Vein? Structure, function, and why we use veins for IV access.
- L2Vessel Selection: Anatomy of the forearm and antecubital fossa, vessel assessment, and site selection.
- L3NZ Regulatory Framework: Medicines Act 1981, scope of practice, standing orders, and prescribing pathways.
II. Module Two Infusion Cocktails & Clinical Rationale +
What goes into the bag, and why. Module Two introduces the formulations used in wellness and aesthetic IV therapy, the clinical rationale behind them, and the governance framework that determines how they can be administered.
- L1IV Fluids and Additives: Saline, Hartmann's, vitamins, minerals, and common adjuncts.
- L2Wellness Cocktails: Myers, NAD+, glutathione, and the clinical evidence behind popular formulations.
- L3Governance and Oversight: Section 29, standing orders, prescribing authority, and what you can and cannot administer independently.
III. Module Three Cannulation Technique & Infection Control +
The procedural core of the course. Module Three takes you through the full cannulation procedure, from patient preparation to line securement, with aseptic non-touch technique built in throughout.
- L1The Cannulation Procedure: Equipment, patient preparation, needle angles, advancement, flashback, and securement.
- L2Aseptic Non-Touch Technique: Hand hygiene, skin preparation, sterile field, and the documentation standards that protect your patient and your practice.
IV. Module Four Complications, Aftercare & Sign-Off +
Closing the loop. Recognising and responding to complications, documenting properly, providing aftercare, and the practical sign-off that confirms competency at the end of your in-person clinical day.
- L1Complications and Emergency Response: Infiltration, extravasation, vasovagal, infection, and anaphylaxis.
- L2Documentation, Aftercare and Governance: Consent, clinical records, aftercare instructions, and incident reporting.
- L3Next Steps and Practical Sign-Off: Competency assessment, CPD documentation, and your pathway into IV practice.
Look Inside the Course
Clinical diagrams, built for injectors.
Understanding the vessel before you access it
Module One opens with a detailed breakdown of vein anatomy: the three-layer wall structure (tunica externa, media, and intima), the role of one-way valves, and why veins are the preferred access point for IV therapy. Every diagram in the course is built to translate directly into clinical decision-making, not just exam recall.
A note on infusion cocktails
Where the course ends, oversight begins.
Module Two introduces infusion cocktails as a guide: showing what is possible with IV infusion therapy and what these formulations are designed to do clinically. It gives you the language and the framework to understand the modality.
What it is not is a licence to prepare and administer infusions independently. Delivering IV infusion therapy in clinic requires medical oversight, prescribing pathways, and standing orders. That is where MObyJC oversight comes in, and we would rather tell you that upfront than oversell what this course alone can do. Learn more about oversight →

Who It's For
Three honest starting points.
Refreshing skills you haven't used recently
You learned cannulation as a student or in a hospital role years ago and haven't practised it regularly since. A structured refresher rebuilds the confidence and the habits to insert a line cleanly, every time.
Building toward IV therapy services
This is the first deliberate step. Cannulation, regulation, formulations, and complications, taught together. The next step is medical oversight to start delivering, which we provide separately when you are ready.

Questions, Addressed
The questions most likely to come up before you enrol.
Do I need a prescriber relationship before I enrol?
No. You can enrol and complete the theory modules without a prescriber in place. We can support you with a prescribing pathway through MObyJC during or after the course, though that is independent of the training itself, and you are welcome to use any compliant prescriber.
Is this course suitable if I have never cannulated before?
Yes. The course is designed for practitioners at all experience levels, including those who have never cannulated in a clinical setting. The practical day is structured to build skill from the ground up under direct NP supervision, so no prior cannulation experience is required to enrol.
What happens at the clinical practical day?
The practical day takes place at JC Injectables clinic in South Auckland. You will complete supervised cannulation practice under NP oversight, work through vessel selection and technique in a real clinical environment, and complete your competency-based sign-off. Cohort sizes are kept small to protect your supervised practice time.
Can I practise IV therapy immediately after completing the course?
You will be clinically ready to cannulate within scope on completion. Practising IV therapy services requires indemnity insurance, prescribing rights or a standing order arrangement, and a compliant clinic environment. We walk you through all of this during the course and can support you with next steps.
Is this course CPD-recognised?
Yes. CPD hours are documented on completion and are recognised by the Nursing Council for continuing competence. The programme is endorsed by the College of Nurses Aotearoa, and other professional bodies recognise the hours under their own CPD frameworks.
How does this fit into the broader IV Infusion Pathway?
IV Cannulation is the foundation skill for our full IV Infusion Pathway, which extends into wellness drips, formulation knowledge, prescribing pathways, and clinic protocols. You need to be competent at cannulation before progressing. This course is Step One.
Do I need to commit to MObyJC oversight to take this course?
No. Training is training. There are no oversight commitments required to complete your course. If you choose to join the MObyJC community afterwards, you will receive an exclusive discounted rate on medical oversight, but that is entirely your call.
