  • I finished my online home learning course to adjust with my daughters childcare and could not be more glad with my step. My trainer was very helpful and gave honest feedback and suggestions. All the representatives I interacted with for any queries were prompt to respond and help when required. I have thoroughly loved my learning period here and concluded the course at my own speed without any stress. I would surely use NCC learning once more in the future.

  • Awesome course, quite descriptive and excellent trainers feedback. An extraordinary way to acquire this ability if you cannot go to classroom learning. A Nice case full of educational materials in each module and simple to trace information in the case.The only problem would be little lagging behind in getting the assessment from a module. However, an awesome method of learning would surely endorse.

Course programme


Course Description


The programme of study is designed to complement your practical work, as it will help you to underpin your practice with theoretical knowledge. It will also give you the opportunity to look at parts of the job you may not currently be involved with.


The programme is divided into four core units, each concentrating on an important aspect of the managing and safe handling of medicines.


The first unit provides an introduction to the many types of medicines that you are likely to encounter within your work environment. It also introduces some of the legislation surrounding medication and the sources of information and guidance available to help you to understand more about medication. The unit will also cover the procedures for prescribing and for dispensing medication.


The second unit contains information surrounding the legislation that applies to the safe handling, storage and disposal of medicines and the roles and responsibilities of staff in relation to these procedures.


The third unit will provide you with information about the safe administration of medication, routes and methods of administration. Once medication is administered care workers also have a vital role in monitoring the effects of treatment so it is important that you are aware of the common adverse reactions that people can have when taking medication.


The final unit provides information on the purpose of quality control (the audit process) and on the records that must be maintained regarding the administration of medicines.


Qualification Title: NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Understanding the Safe Handling of Medication in Health and Social Care (QCF)
