Medication Administration

Medication Administration training teaches care professionals how to safely administer, record, store and dispose of medicines while following relevant procedures and responsibilities.

It covers medication types, administration methods, risks and side effects, eMAR, documentation, medication errors, PRN medicines, time-critical medicines and enteral tube administration.

The course is suitable for healthcare and care professionals involved in supporting people with their medication needs in care homes and other care settings.

PRN medicines are given when needed according to instructions, while time-critical medicines must be administered at specific times to maintain their effectiveness and safety.

Accurate documentation helps maintain clear medication records, supports continuity of care, improves safety and provides evidence that medicines were administered correctly.
