Medication Awareness & Medication Administration Training
The medication awareness course offers a solid introduction to medications, and is aimed primarily for staff who could be called upon to assist with the administration of medications and for general awareness.
The medication administration course is of a longer duration and includes formal assessment of the administration process, and as such is suited to those required to actually administer medication.
