Medicines management in social care

Wednesday, April 10, 2024 1:00 pm

Medicines play a vital role in promoting people’s health and general wellbeing, so the safe and optimal management of people’s medicines is usually a large part of both the residential and domiciliary provider’s role. 

All services need to keep their policies and practices under scrutiny, including robust auditing and incident management, in order to ensure they remain compliant and continue to safely support people with their medicines. Strong services manage medicines in ways that promote people’s independence and wellbeing.  

This webinar will give providers and managers of adult social care an overview of their medicines management responsibilities. It will be useful as either an introduction to the topic or as a refresher.
