How We Help with Medication Management

We implement a comprehensive strategy to improve medication management for our clients, focusing on the following key aspects:

Ongoing Training
Our trained staff undergo regular training in medication administration, accurate recording, side effect monitoring, and safe storage practices. This ensures they remain highly qualified and capable of providing the best support to our care-users.

Promote Understanding and Independence
We believe in teaching individuals about their medications, helping them understand their purposes and effects. Whenever possible, we support our clients in self-administering their medications under supervision, fostering their independence and confidence.

Use of Technology and Audits
To enhance accuracy and accountability, we employ electronic Medication Administration Record (MAR) systems. Regular medication audits are performed to ensure compliance and to address any discrepancies, ensuring our clients receive the highest standard of care.

Clear Protocols
We have established robust policies to manage missed doses, changes in prescriptions, and the handling of controlled drugs. These protocols are vital in maintaining the safety and well-being of our clients, ensuring they receive consistent and reliable support.
