Our policies align with regulatory requirements and best practice guidelines; we document training competencies and maintain traceable supply chains for all medicines and consumables. Collaboration with GPs, district nurses and specialist prescribers ensures that medication changes are implemented correctly, with prompt communication to care teams and documented updates to resident records.
