Level 2 Certificate in Understanding the Safe Handling of Medication in Health and Social Care

The NCFE CACHE Level 2 Certificate in Understanding the Safe Handling of Medication in Health and Social Care is designed to equip learners with essential knowledge surrounding medication management in care settings. This qualification provides a comprehensive overview of different types of medication and their uses, the correct procedures for obtaining, storing, administering, and disposing of medication, as well as the relevant legislation and audit processes related to medication handling. Learners will also develop an understanding of the importance of responsibility, accountability, and accurate record-keeping in medication administration. It is important to note that this is a knowledge-based qualification, and achieving it does not qualify learners to be considered occupationally competent in administering medication. Furthermore, when Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is employed, it should adhere to the PBS Framework, ensuring high-quality support.
