Online Medication Administration Refresher Personal Assistants

Course Overview

Our refresher course satisfies the requirements from 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 each year (to just tick a box), our course re-tests the skills learnt on the foundation course as well as course providing updates to best practice since the foundation course was taken.
