Medication and Domiciliary Care

The Medication and Domiciliary Care programme is divided into seven modules, each concentrating on an important aspect of medicine and domiciliary care. This course is designed to be a flexible learning package, which you can work through at your own pace.

Each module asks you to complete a number of structured activities to ensure that you have absorbed the required underpinning knowledge and to provide evidence for core skills assessment. The Activities Workbook that is included in your learning pack contains all of the activities required for revision to reinforce your learning. All of these must be assessed by your Tutor.

Our aim is to provide you with the best deal available, therefore registration fee, certification fee and full tutor support is included in the course price for you.
