AUDITS & POLICIES
Medication policy consultancy
We have extensive experience writing medication policies to the latest NICE best practice guidelines for councils and care providers, both large and small. Our policies and procedures contain expert guidance, in plain English, that allow staff to work from them on a day-to-day basis.
How it works
Our policies are specific to your care setting (home care, care homes, reablement, shared lives, supported living and day services etc.). They ensure you manage medicines safely in line with national best practice and have helped many of clients achieve high rating with CQC (Care Quality Commission).
They provide a suite of forms (when required protocol, my medicines administration profile, body maps for creams and patches, current medication request letter, non-prescribed medicines authorisation form, medication needs assessment, medicines disposal forms etc.) and medicines charts (if needed).
We start by reviewing your existing medication policy or standard operating procedures and highlight any areas which don’t align with CQC best practice, NICE (the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) or other relevant best practice documents.
Once agreed, we then re-write the policy and consult with you on any changes. We then review the policy after it has been sent out to stakeholders for consultation and make any amendments required.
