About the CPD course

Safe handling of store medication is important for everyone; especially those in the healthcare field. These guidelines help organisations and agencies develop their own policies on the subject; giving them a chance to increase security and safety in their facilities and reduce the likelihood of errors and mistakes at all levels; as they are built on a system of double checks and verification. This course provides an introduction to the safe handling of medicines; beginning with an overview of the classifications of medicines according to UK law and several important terms and definitions. It talks about the relevant legalisation and guidelines; along with the seven rights of medication administration. Policies for record keeping and the roles of individuals involved are also discussed. It also gives you proper storage and dispensing procedures; along with a discussion of the routes of entry and levels of support patients may require.
