Published requirement descriptionThis award if for the Medication Administration Support Service.
Medicines support is any support that enables a person to manage their medicines. This covers prompting or reminding people to take their medicines; helping people remove medicines from packaging; and administering some or all of a person's medicines.
The provider will:
- Assess what medicines support a person needs as part of their general assessment and record the outcome of the assessment in the care plan.
- Where a person needs support with their medicines, the provider will record the following details in their care plan:
o the person's needs and preferences
o the person's expectations for confidentiality and advance care planning
o how you will seek consent
o details of who to contact about their medicines - this can be the person needing support or a contact they choose
o what support they need for each medicine
o how the medicines support will be given
o who provides medicines support, particularly when more than one care provider is involved
o when the medicines support will be reviewed - e.g. after six weeks.
o Staff who assess people's medicines support need to be trained and competent to do so
o only take responsibility for people's medicines where the assessment indicates there is a need.
Services will usually be delivered in patients own homes, these will be located within all areas of Milton Keynes, including villages.
