Medicines: General Update for all Nurses

As medicines are one of the highest areas of risk for all nurses, it is essential that you regularly update your knowledge on this key professional area.

This is a vital refresher course that reviews how modern drugs work in the body, dosage considerations and best practice for the safe and accurate administration of medicines. Initially, there will be a revision of key concepts, such as the way in which drugs are metabolised. Other topics focus on the safe administration and storage of drugs, and specific groups of drugs will be examined including analgesics, antibiotics and sedatives. This program aims to give you a good general 'top-up' of information across the breadth of medicines and related topics.

Don't miss this invaluable opportunity to improve your knowledge about medications and remain safe in your professional area of care.
