Support Workers have the right to ask for further guidance on administering medication if they feel it is unsafe or are unsure of procedures The service user’s Support Plan will include instruction on medication. Assistance cannot be given if it is not mentioned in the Plan Medication

Tablets Capsules Liquid/Suspension (bottles or pre-measured doses) Dispersible Creams/ointments Ear/eyedrops Types of Medication

Safe Management of Medication Medicines can only be dispensed from the original containers supplied by the pharmacist (the labels must be legible!) Medication can only be given to the person it is prescribed for Do not give ‘over the counter’ remedies to level C service users

Safe Management of Medication Crushing medicines Covert Administration Controlled Drugs Injections PRN medication Disposing of medicines

Safe Management of Medication Refusal to take medication Mistakes Creams & ointments (non- prescribed) Buying Medication Ordering & collecting prescriptions
