Managing medication errors is a challenging part of anyone’s role, but by trying to reduce medication errors alone, you’re missing out on the reasons why they are occuring in the first instance. If you want to reduce the harm that medication errors (or more correctly medication incidents) cause, the only way to do this is by learning from these incidents. With success, you’ll see your reported incidents go up, giving you more opportunities to learn.
But the harm they cause should go down.
This course will teach you how manage, report and learn from medication incidents. It will enable you to provide the correct response to Safeguarding Teams and the Care Quality Commission. It will enable you to reduce the chance of harm from medication incidents occurring by learning from them. This course is delivered via Zoom.
