medication training

Comprehensive, accredited medication training shown to reduce errors by 36%

Most medication training doesn’t really teach how to administer medication

Most medication training focuses on theory, legislation, and types of medication, rather than on how to actually administer medicines. No wonder two thirds of people cared for experience one or more medication errors (CHUMs study). This is why we teach people to administer medicines, by administering medicines. We’re a Skills for Care endorsed training provider with our online foundation courses also accredited by the Royal College of Nursing. Our practical hands-on face to face and online courses are based on over 20 years of research into why medication errors occur, and have been shown to reduce errors by 36% (click here to find out how)

What they say

  • "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."

    Stuart Townsend

  • "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."

    Andrea Blackmore

  • "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."

    Miriam Burt

  • "Your passion and knowledge in the area was abundant. Incredibly helpful references to regulations and guidelines to demystify false assumptions and common areas of incorrect/needless practice. You’re ability to field any and all questions robustly was remarkably helpful. The course your team are running with BHCC Learning Gateway have garnered very positive feedback from our team; something not all that common with medication training! The templates you have produced all look incredibly sensible, practical and helpful. Formatting the afternoon around the top 20 areas picked up by CQC was very helpful and applicable to all services present."

    E-an Wilson

  • “I like the way the training goes into more detail, on time critical meds, infection control and label warnings, which are often not read or adhered too. I think it’s easy to use and it goes through all the sections step-by-step, leading onto the next section easily and clearly”.
