Description
This is the first of two CPD certified e-learning courses on ‘Managing medicines for adults receiving social care in the community’ and is based on guideline 67 from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (or NICE) which was published in March 2017.
The course is broken down into seven modules including:
1. NICE guideline 67
2. Person centred medicines assessment
3. Record keeping and sharing information
4. Managing concerns about medicines
5. Ordering and supplying medicines
6. Transporting, storing and disposing of medicines
7. Covert administration
There are also three practical case studies that will help apply learning to practice.
The course should take around 2.5 hours in total to complete, but we recommend that it is taken in stages and not in a single sitting.
Quizzes at the end of each module will test understanding and recap on key learning points, and a pass mark of 70% is required in the final assessment to complete the course and receive a certificate.
Our user testers say:
“This course is outstanding in outlining the right practice for carers in the field. Its an easy course which can be completed within two hours and, above all, it has important attached links for further reading. It is an exceptional course which helps add knowledge to carers with medication administration. Taking this course is highly recommended to all carers.”
“This course is very useful and would benefit carers new to care and experienced carers to remind themselves of the rules and responsibilities of medication.”
