 Avoiding Medication Errors Training

Three of the last four independent safeguarding investigations we have undertaken relate to errors in administering medication to young people. These sessions aim to deal with issues proactively, minimising risk to young people and avoiding the need for external scrutiny. We focus on a root cause analysis approach, with space between the sessions to audit your own setting and to share the learning with colleagues on your return.
