Administration of Medicines to Children in Care – MED02

Our administration of medicines to children course is particularly suited to staff working within a children’s residential or domiciliary care setting and similar environments where they may be required to safely administer medicine or assist children to take their own medication. This course considers Level 1 and Level 2 administration and is advised by the CQC that staff undertake the course annually to review knowledge, skills and competencies relating to managing and administering medicines.

“I would highly recommend this course (Fire Marshal with Live Fire) – the trainer explained everything very well. 10/10″
