Who is the Medication Advanced training course for?

This online Medication Advanced training course is designed for anybody working in residential care/nursing home, domiciliary care or anyone providing care to a patient, who wishes to gain an understanding of administering medicine greater than an awareness course.

Typically, it’s for those in a team leader, manager, senior or more experienced role, or those with a more active role that requires the processing and management of medication.

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 the various 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.
