Description & Learning objectives

This course will allow practitioners to dispense medications with confidence, whilst complying with good practice, and at the same time recognise how a range of medications are administered and what their route of administration is. In addition, the course will identify the six rights of medication and how to review medication labels and their safe storage. 

The course will also show practitioners various side-effects of medications and issues of consent that impact on practice. It will also look at recording and reporting and what practitioners need to know regarding self-administration. There will also be a consideration of issues of side effects and what carers will need to do in the event of negative reactions to medication.

The learning outcomes of the course are as follows:
  • To know how to comply with good practice to safely administer medication 
  • To outline a range of medications, their form, and route of administration
  • To explain how to safely administer and store medication
  • To understand medication safety and error prevention
  • To know how to communicate and collaborate in medication management
