This Ausmed Course is intended for nurses, midwives and other healthcare professionals (such as pharmacists and paramedics) who may be involved in the medication administration process for infants and children.
The administration of medications is a high-risk area for nurses and other healthcare professionals; therefore, accessible education providing up-to-date information is necessary in order to promote medication safety and avoid the potentially catastrophic consequences that can arise from medication errors. For medication-based topics in particular, it is crucial that this education is aligned with the latest evidence and covers any relevant new medications in order to inform best practices.
The purpose of this course is to provide best-practice education that increases the confidence of nurses, midwives and other healthcare professionals when caring for infants and children requiring medication administration in order to minimise medication errors and maximise positive patient outcomes.
