1. Controlling Medicines
This comprehensive programme of study covers the knowledge a manager or senior care worker needs to enable them to supervise or undertake the administration of medicines in their care establishment, in accordance with current legal and organizational requirements.
The programme will focus primarily on the:
- Legislation relating to the control, handling, and administration of medicines.
- Differences between policies and procedures and their importance in relation to medication processes.
- Roles, responsibilities, and boundaries for the practice of individuals in relation to the control, handling, and administration of medicines.
- Types of medicines prescribed and their related routes of administration.
- Safe practices relating to the control, handling, and administration of medicines.
To provide a rounded learning experience, we have added a few extra topics relating to the administration of medicines. These are not identified within the Skills for Care Knowledge Set and will not be formally assessed. They are optional components included for individuals who have an interest in the subjects and who may have clients with specific needs in relation to medication.
2. Managing Medicines
Before any medicine can be administered, it must be prescribed, collected, and logged into the care establishment's records and systems. This section will look at these processes and explore the roles of various members of the care team.
We will explore the:
- Prescribing, dispensing, obtaining, and checking of medicines and the roles that various members of the care team play, as well as the role of the care worker in a variety of care settings.
- Importance of seeking guidance and support when queries arise in relation to medicines and related doses. We will also identify appropriate sources for guidance and support.
- Need for confidentiality and the rules for disclosure of information relating to an individual's medication.
3. Types of Medicine
Medicines are taken for many different reasons, such as to:
- Treat a condition - e.g. an antibiotic to treat an infection.
- Control a condition - e.g. a medicine to lower blood pressure.
- Treat the symptoms of a condition - e.g. a painkiller for toothache.
- Prevent illness - e.g. a vaccination against disease.
When it comes to administering medicines, the more knowledgeable the practitioner, the safer they will be. To help you gain the knowledge required to support your practice, this section will examine:
- The range and type of medicines you will administer and their purpose and legal classification.
- The routes by which medicines are administered.
- The signs and symptoms of side effects and adverse reactions to medicines.
- The importance of checking for and understanding contraindications and interactions between various medicines.
4. Medicine Administration
In this section of the programme, we will explore three key areas, namely the:
- Importance of seeking consent and ensuring appropriate risk assessment prior to the administration of medicines, whether the medicines are administered by the service user themselves or a designated member of the care team.
- Administration and control of the medicines, with specific focus on:
- Preparation
- Administration
- Recording (including medicines administered or refused and administration errors).
