Course content
We have an in-depth medicines audit tool, developed over many years, in consultation with current and ex-CQC Pharmacists. It provides a deep dive into your medication management processes. The audit is broken down into annual, monthly and weekly checks. We can train your staff to use this medicines audit tool, or base the training on any in house audit tools you have.
We will take the delegates through each of the areas, giving advice, answering questions, and showing where delegates can access the standards and guidelines on which each element is based (for further information).
