Audit of Medicines in Social Care Settings

Course Overview

We have a comprehensive audit tool enabling you to thoroughly inspect your medicines systems. Developed by our own expert (and ex-CQC) pharmacists, it will ensure you score highly during CQC inspections and that people using your service are protected against any risks associated with medicines.

On this half-day course, we will train you how to use the tool and provide you with a voucher code to download it for free (rather that the standard cost of £50).

The training is relevant and very well presented. All staff are helpful and friendly. Not aware of another company that offers anything close to this level of knowledge and service.

I would highly recommend doing training here, John is extremely knowledgeable and delivers the course brilliantly . I have really enjoyed all the courses I have attended and have learnt so much. I am now a trained trainer and deliver medication training where I work, it has helped my confidence in this area and I know that my staff are well trained and enjoyed the training that I was taught to deliver. The whole team are fantastic and so very helpful and friendly. Will always attend all courses possible when available.

Medication Training PCMA Instructor training has proved invaluable for Home Instead Senior Care Kerry, Ireland. The training has enabled us to train staff on the Practical Competencies of Medication Administration which is an essential part of being able to support persons under a social care model. Thank you to John Greene and staff at Medication Training.

I've just attended the 3 day 'Train the Trainers' Medicines Administration course delivered by John and would highly recommended it to anyone wanting to develop and deliver medication training sessions for their staff. John has gained a wealth of knowledge and experience as a pharmacist and is very passionate about his profession. He works closely with CQC pharmacists to ensure that the theory he delivers during the course is relevant, accurate and up to date. We were well looked after throughout the course and the support from his admin team both pre and post training has been excellent as well.

I have completed a train the trainer course with John at The medication training company. He is a real expert in this field, and I learnt so much over the three day course. Everyone including the office staff and John himself, were friendly, informative and approachable on all occasions. I will look forward to returning for my refresher course in 2 years.
