New Management of Medication Guidance 2024.  

“This guidance has been developed by a partnership of Care Inspectorate staff and care professionals and supersedes the 2014 Care Inspectorate’s document ‘The Management of Medication in Daycare and Childminding Services’ (publication code HCR-0514-087).

We have produced this guidance to:

– help service providers have policies and procedures in place to support them in the management of medication
– support Care Inspectorate staff to review the administration of medication, medication policies and procedures in relevant services.

This guidance signposts to general good practice principles of medicines management and is not intended to cover every condition or circumstance relating to medicine use.”

 

This has also been added to the bottom of the Care Inspectorate Guidance Portal page, as well as the Medication & Medication – National Guidance Portal Pages.
