The Care Quality Commission (CQC) requires care providers to have a formal system to assess staff competence to administer medication. This course will provide you with the skills, knowledge, and materials to assess staff competence to administer medicines. You will practice assessing people administering various dosage forms, using direct observation against a set of structured competence assessment checklists.
This course is delivered via Zoom or in-person. The final online assessment has a 4-month completion window. Learners who do not complete the course within this timeframe will be automatically unenrolled. Take a look at our assessors FAQs for more information
