Course overview
Course last audited November 2024
This online version of our Refresher Course is for Personal Assistants. It provides the skills and knowledge to administer medicines in line with the latest national best practice.
Rather than studying the same course year after year, a process which is just ticking a box, our course re-tests the skills learnt on the foundation course, and provides updates to best practice made since the foundation course was taken.
