Medications Awareness Level 1 (VTQ)

It is essential that medication awareness training is offered in the care industry to ensure that all staff have a basic understanding of the important rules when handling medications. You will gain valuable gives knowledge of the legal framework and how it influences policies and procedures in determining the methods of safe handling of medicines, documentation and reporting any therapeutic or adverse changes to individuals after medicines are given

We recommend that you use the information from the course along with the policies and procedures of your workplace to ensure compliance at all times. If you are a family carer and have caring responsibilities for someone and you want to ensure that you are administering medicines correctly and be able to recognise side effects, you will benefit from this course.
