Please visit HCPA’s training page to see what medication training HCPA and the County Council are delivering, you will also find information on how you can claim
mandatory funding for medication training at your service.
Although, HCPA does not endorse e-learning as quality training (click here for the Hertfordshire Blended E-Learning Policy). We have been advised of the below medication e-learning from PrescQIPP which you could use to enhance face-to-face training.
PrescQIPP
The Hertfordshire clinical Commissioning groups have funded the use of PrescQIPP E-learning package for Care Home staff across the County. As you will be aware E-Leaning is not considered good enough by itself and should be accompanied with Face to face training and monitoring of competencies to form a Blended Learning Package.
Medication E-Learning available for free via PresQUIPP
