Draw on our complete suite of phlebotomy resources! Lippincott Williams & Wilkins is pleased to introduce the newest edition of our leading textbook Phlebotomy Essentials, a book created for all who want to correctly and safely practice phlebotomy. This new edition continues the LWW focus on providing accurate, up-to-date, and practical instruction in phlebotomy procedures and techniques, grounded by a comprehensive background in phlebotomy theory. Key additions include updated information on the latest CLSI guidelines, new media to accompany each chapter, more color photos, and the addition of terms to align the text with the International Standards Organization (ISO). Written to be highly accessible to students at all levels, and comprehensive enough for practicing phlebotomists, this text is complemented by a robust ancillary suite to help readers of all learning styles master the material. The online ancillaries, coupled with the text and available workbook and exam review book, help create a dynamic phlebotomy learning experience.
Phlebotomy Essentials remains one of the most comprehensive texts I’ve used for teaching safe and effective blood collection techniques. It’s clear, well-structured, and essential for both students and trainers.
I recently published a practical companion blog post that walks through the step-by-step process of drawing blood, especially useful for learners who want to visualize and practice techniques at home. It complements this book perfectly.
Required textbook for a regionally accredited college phlebotomy course. Excellent visuals and straightforward guidance. One particularly useful feature, it has picture lists of common phlebotomy tubes and other necessary materials by manufacturer.
I read the entire book before my phlebotomy class and reread the assigned sections during class. It was an easy read - helpful and informative and I will be going through parts of it again in preparation for the national exam.
