Delivery, duration and assessment
A half-day practical session using training materials — dosette boxes and blank practice charts — with no real medicines or personal data involved. Certificates with unique registration numbers are issued on completion, with attendance records for your training matrix.
Compliance notes
Training alone does not make a member of staff competent to administer medication — sector guidance expects workplace competency assessments, typically reviewed annually. We recommend pairing this course with your in-house competency sign-off process.
