Medication

A wide range of people; non-registered and registered workforce, patients and their carers all contribute to safe handling and care with medicines. It is important that people feel confident and competent to manage medicines safely and that people are supported to make shared decisions about their health and medicines.

The handling medicines safely for social care staff e-learning is aimed at the non-registered medicines workforce, focusing on the skills necessary to handle and administer medicines safely.  If you are a care worker working in a health and social care environment, handling medicines regularly and supporting people with their medicines, either in their own home or in nursing or residential care settings, then you should find this e-learning very useful.

These modules support the medicines administration resources we have developed.
