Course Overview

Understanding how to handle drugs securely is essential for anyone intending to work in health and social care. With approximately 4-5% of UK hospital admissions caused by the incorrect use of medicines at an estimated cost of £466 million a year to the NHS, medicine needs to be handled with the highest care because it is essential to save human lives. 

Any medication abuse can lead to major health issues and, in extreme circumstances, even death. In order to comply with UK medicine legislation, this course on Safe Handling of Medicines will help to instruct participants in the safe and professional handling and disposal of medications. 

You will be aware of how to order, receive, administer, store, and dispose of various types of medication. After completing this course, you will be well-versed in the steps for getting, keeping, and disposing of medication in a safe and secure manner

Learning Outcomes

After completing the course, students will be able to:

  • Recognise the specialised vocabulary used for bird classifications.
