Medication Support (Core)

A deeper course for carers who support people with their medicines — your role and its limits, consent and capacity, safe storage, records that protect people, spotting problems, handling errors and refusals, and working with pharmacists and GPs. Recording, storage, safety, consent and escalation only: administering medicines needs employer training and authorisation. Builds on Medication Awareness.
