ABOUT THIS COURSE
This course is suitable for those working with disabled people within the disability services industry or healthcare sector. Our Assisting Clients with Medication training course provides participants with the skills and essential knowledge in interpreting medications and understanding the ways in which they can be taken. This course covers a wide variety of topics, including but not limited to medication laws, roles and responsibilities, duty of care, client assessment, documentation, client communication, assessing your environment, administering medications, understanding medications, delivery methods, medication incidents and much more.
Medications are the most common form of treatment, and when used well, medications yield the most significant impact on health; however, medications are also responsible for more errors than any other part of health care; therefore, this course has been designed for support workers to revise the core skills and essential knowledge needed to assist their clients with their medication successfully.
This course consists of theory and practical components and is delivered and assessed by experienced accredited nurses and industry personnel who enjoy sharing their experiences and knowledge with you.
At the end of the course, participants are assessed and will be provided with a Certificate of Completion (Verification of Competence Certificate).
Corporate or Group courses are conducted on-demand at our Reservoir training venue or at your location. Call us today; we are confident we can find a suitable time for you or your team.
ONLINE TRAINING COURSES AVAILABLE 24/7.
CORPORATE OR GROUP BOOKINGS ARE AVAILABLE ON REQUEST MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY
