IV NEWS
First launched in June 2020, BD IV News provides healthcare professionals (HCPs) in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) with the latest news and developments in the fields of intravenous (IV) therapy and medication delivery. The BD IV News team’s mission is to enable HCPs like you to establish a culture of safety in your healthcare facilities, while providing the best possible vascular care for your patients.
Events and training
These are opportunities for you to acquire new skills and knowledge from world-class experts, while networking with fellow HCPs. Every other year, come and see BD at the biennial World Congress on Vascular Access (WoCoVA). We can help you advance patient experience and improve clinical outcomes throughout the vascular access care continuum. Webinars on specific topics are offered throughout the year.
BD MACOVA
The in-person and virtual editions of BD MACOVA carry a rich history of engaging leaders in vascular access to share their experience and insight into vascular access management (VAM) with those looking to expand the use of vascular access devices (VADs) and the services they provide in their healthcare facilities. Reserve your spot at future in-person congresses and online events.
News and innovation
Uncover the latest trends in new technologies and solutions, infection prevention, IV catheter care and maintenance. Learn best practice techniques with a focus on patient safety and healthcare worker safety. We aim to support HCPs to provide the best possible care for your patients, while helping you prevent needlestick injuries.
