On Thursday 5th February, 1pm - 2pm, we welcome our award winner, Bedfordshire, Luton & Milton Keynes ICB – Care Home Medicines Optimsation Team to present on ICB-Led Medication Training Offer for Adult Social Care Staff, including Medication Champions Training.
The Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes (BLMK) ICB Care Home Medicines Optimisation Team consists of 4 pharmacists and 4 pharmacy technicians, supporting 119? CQC registered care homes across four ‘places’ within the ICB. The role of the team is to promote safety, quality and safeguarding around medicines in the care homes, supporting the avoidance of medication errors, safety incidents and potential hospital admissions in this vulnerable cohort of almost 6000 individuals.
The team recognised there was variation across Adult Social Care (ASC) services with regards to standards of medication training and an objective was set to ensure all ASC staff were enabled to have access to high quality, standardised medication training. Whilst the team’s remit covers care homes only, the decision was made to extend the training opportunity to all ASC within the ICB, including home care and community-based care staff, to ensure medication training opportunities were equitable and of a consistent high standard in all settings.
