Overview
Royal Pharmaceutical Society Accredited:
This is our main foundation workshop in Medicines Administration (Safe Handling of Medicines, Level 2) covering the requirements set out in the Care Certificate, NICE guidelines and by the CQC. These practical face-to-face workshops are delivered by experienced pharmacists or nurses and accredited by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. They have been shown to reduce medication errors by 36% (by Hampshire County Council). We have different versions of this workshop for care homes, day services, and community settings.
Description
Simulated medicines rounds assess competence before, during and after training:
Learners undertake simulated medicines rounds. Deliberate mistakes are included (incorrect names, strengths, expired medicines etc.) which they must correctly identify and avoid, whilst selecting and recording the correct medicines on their medicines charts. We use these assessments three times: at the start, midway and at the end of the workshop to measure improvement and create a pass mark.
We send a full learner report and include a 'follow-on' assessment for any staff who fail:
After the workshop, we send managers a learner report detailing how staff have performed before, during and after training. This allows you to measure the impact of the course. If any staff fail, they are enrolled onto our Virtual Medicines Round to gain their certificate after the workshop. This online competence assessment can also be purchased as a standalone training module.
