Description
This is the second of our 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 nine modules including:
1. Medicines basics
2. General principles of medicines administration
3. ‘When required’ and’ time sensitive’ medicines
4. Administration of solid oral medicines
5. Administration of liquids
6. Administration of inhalers
7. Application of topical products
8. Administration of transdermal patches
9. Administration of eye drops and ointments
There are also three practical case studies that will help apply learning to practice.
The course should take around 3 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.
