Medicines and Medication Online Training Courses

All staff in the health and social care sector are likely to handle and administer medications at some point. Medication errors can be very serious or even fatal, so it’s vital that all staff receive the necessary training to ensure that procedures are followed correctly. This is necessary to protect both staff and clients.

This training could need to cover the calculations that ensure the correct dosage is administered and the medication management systems used in the care setting.

Caredemy’s range of online medicine and medication training for caregivers provides the vital information staff need to know about managing and controlling medication as well as optimising medication plans.

What is medication management training?

Health and social care providers must maintain standards of care as set out by the Care Quality Commission. Part of this includes the procedures and requirements concerning medication management in hospitals, care homes and other care settings.

Caredemy’s range of medicine management courses has been specifically designed to provide the training required to ensure that medications are managed and administered safely. They cover topics such as using and managing controlled drugs safely in a care setting, common drug dose miscalculation errors, and medication management systems.

As with all Caredemy online health and social care courses, the course materials can be accessed 24/7 on mobile phones, computers and tablets. Learners who prefer offline study can download course materials to study at their own pace from any convenient location. Online support is available from the Caredemy Student Support Team, who can also answer any study planning queries.

All students receive access to their personal Learner Dashboard, which helps them to track their learning progress. The course is assessed through an online multiple-choice exam, and a CPD-accredited certificate can be downloaded after successfully passing the assessment. If required, free exam resits are included in the course fee.
