About this course
Careskills Academy’s Medication Advanced training course will help you understand the various roles and responsibilities when handling, processing or administering medication. The course includes how to correctly administer medicines, the importance of recording the distribution of medication, and the many causes of medication error alongside how to reduce the risk. Meet your CQC requirements with this certified Medication Advanced training.
In the UK alone, there is an average of 237 million medication errors every year. These errors could prove fatal to patients and may result in legal proceedings if caused by negligence or mismanagement. This is why it is so important that your staff understand how to manage and supply medicine correctly to keep patients healthy and minimise the risks associated with errors.

Level 3 AET was incredible. Loved it
"I loved the entire process as it was well supported with resources and templates. I enjoyed filling out the booklet and learning new things. The professional discussion with Zoe was the highlight of the program. It's just so good to talk to a fellow trainer outside of work and learn from each other. Highly recommend the course of level 3 AET!"
