Principles of Medication Administration in Schools

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Principles of Medication Administration in Schools (Distance Learning)This course will provide a sound background to medication use in schools, including assisting with specialist tasks such as giving insulin injections.

The course will, however, give you a great understanding of medical conditions, medications, the legal framework and guidance surrounding medication use in schools, plus equip schools to put effective systems in place to support individual children.
This course is carried out using detailed blended learning resource pack which can be kept to record a staff members development in the subject. Assessment is through a multiple choice question paper and completion of workbook.
