Course overview
Course last audited November 2024
Our Foundation Refresher course satisfies the requirements from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for an annual update of the knowledge, skills and competencies needed to administer medicines (as required by NICE).
Rather than having to study the same course again each year, which we believe simply becomes a ‘tick box’ exercise, our course not only re-tests the skills learnt on the foundation course but also updates best practices since the student took the foundation course.
Aimed at
