Online Training: Supporting Medication in Social Care Settings for Trainers (previously known as Train the Trainer)
Monday 7th September 2020 and Tuesday 8th September 2020
11am-1pm (you must attend both days)
Tutor: Rod Landman
The management of medicines sits under the ‘Safe’ key line of enquiry (KLOE) regulated by the CQC and remains the biggest area of non-compliance.
All social care staff need to undertake medication training and to have their knowledge and capability regularly reviewed.
ARC England’s Supporting Medication in Social Care Settings for Trainers will enable you to deliver mandatory medication training to new and existing staff members. The training will equip you to ensure your staff support service users competently and consistently. Once trained, your staff can then complete our workbooks and have them formally assessed to provide your organisation with external quality assurance.
You will receive:
- a trainers’ pack, including a USB with all handouts and PowerPoint presentation
- a sample workbook
- an additional 30 minutes of personal support from your tutor, with the opportunity to ask questions and discuss your organisation’s specific requirements.
- a certificate of attendance
