What is the difference between Medication Advanced and Medication Awareness?

Our Medication Awareness training course covers more the theory and aiding side of administering medicine such as the legislation behind it, different classifications of medicine, a company's policy in regards to medication and how to safely store and manage medication.

Whereas our Medication Advanced training course dives deeper and teaches you how to actually administer medication and covers topics such as your roles and responsibilities when giving medication, how the medication should be disposed of, what causes medication errors and how to reduce the risk and the possible side effects of medication and what to do.
