The Train the Trainer Course on 10 March 2009

Handling Medication Course 03 09 BIG
One of our Handling Medication in Social Care Settings TRAIN THE TRAINER courses was held in our Chesterfield office and after one day full of information and discussions we have spoken to Amanda.

Amanda you have just finished our Handling Medication TRAIN THE TRAINER course and I hope this day was interesting for you?

Yes, It was a very interesting training with easy to understand sections and it gave me good ideas how to apply the training and how it runs. The information and handouts provided are very useful and I will definitely use them. The examples and scenarios in the training pack are a good basis for the training. I will use the examples for my training and adjust them to each client group.

Have you observed any changes or latest developments in handling medication?

Well, we are working in a sector that always changes and if you handle medication it is absolutely necessary to ensure your standards and to go with the latest legislations and of course to update your knowledge. There is no room for errors in handling medication.

We want to thank Amanda for the interesting conversation and for sharing some of her views with us.

If you would like to provide feedback on any of our training you can send it to our Training Officer Shirley Potter your feedback is highly appreciated and will be invaluable in helping us to develop our training further.
