On February 12, 2026, a pilot workshop focused on nursing care for PICC catheters was held at the ISVaZ workplace, providing participants with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills for safe patient care.
The pilot workshop on nursing care for peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) took place at the ISVaZ workplace on February 12, 2026. Under the expert guidance of lecturer Dr. Daniela Rybárová, participants gained theoretical knowledge about the purpose, advantages, indications, and contraindications of PICC catheter insertion.
In the practical part, they practiced care procedures, blood sampling, and dressing changes, also using the VIP score assessment to evaluate the insertion site of the peripheral venous catheter.
The first successful graduates of the workshop “Nursing Care for PICC Catheters,” led by a lecturer with more than 30 years of experience in intensive care, were nurses from ADOS EVA in Stropkov. Our workplace is open to initiatives that support education and the development of nursing—not only for students but also for practicing nurses.
