Reducing Medicines Errors Series

Overview


Recently we have had many customers reporting an increase in medicines errors within their organisation.


Now that lockdown is beginning to ease, it is important to make sure that staff are trained and competent to keep caring for the people you support, and to reduce medicines errors.


Our 'Reducing Medicines Errors' Series looks at medicines errors from a variety of different perspectives to offer practical solutions to Managers and staff.

The series provides information to help you:

  • Identify the causes of medicines errors
  • Implement actions to prevent errors arising
  • Audit errors that occur within your organisation; and
  • Make plans for the future to keep medicines errors as low as possible


Each email contains helpful downloadable resources and guidance for you to use and implement within your organisation.
