Course Description

If you want to gain a knowledge of Understanding the Safe Handling of Medicines so that you can embark on a rewarding career or you are already working in a related field and want to improve your career prospects, then this Distance Learning Course is the course for you.

The course is designed to complement your practical work, as it will help you to underpin your practice with theoretical knowledge.  It will also give you the opportunity to look at other parts of the job you may not currently be involved with.

This course is divided into four core units, each one concentrating on an important aspect of the managing and safe handling of medicines.

The first unit provides an introduction to the many types of medicines that you are likely to come into contact with, within your work environment.  It also introduces some of the legislation surrounding medication and the sources of information and guidance that is available to help you understand more about medication. The unit will also cover the procedures for prescribing and the dispensing of medication.

The second unit contains information surrounding the legislation that applies to the safe handling, storage and disposal of medicines and the roles and responsibilities of staff who may be involved in these procedures.

The third unit will provide you with information about the safe administration of medication, also routes and methods of administration. Once medication is administered care workers also have a vital role in monitoring the effects of any treatment that may be given to ensure that you are aware of the common adverse reactions that people can have whilst taking medication.

The final unit provides information on the purpose of quality control (the audit process) and on the records that need to be maintained regarding the administration of medicines.
