Reducing Medication Errors

Medication administration training delivered by experts

Medication administration is a critical service for all health care and social care providers. Medication errors made by health or social care professionals risk patient safety and unwanted scrutiny from regulators and safeguarding teams. We believe medication administration training should be provided by a specialist team of pharmacists and nurses, whose sole passion is focused around teaching just this one subject. Our practical face-to-face / virtual and our online courses focus on administering medicines systematically using a 12-step process to avoid complacency and reduce errors. Our courses use simulated medicines rounds to assess competency, and have been shown to reduce medication errors by 36%. Our medication training is trusted by 20 local authorities and numerous health and social care providers across the UK. We are endorsed by Skills for Care and accredited by the Royal College of Nursing.

*The Foundation course has been accredited by the RCN Centre for Professional Accreditation until 21 July 2023. Accreditation applies only to the educational content of the programme and does not apply to any product.

What they say

  • "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."

    Willow Lodge

  • "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."

    Stuart Townsend

    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”.
