Training Course Content
- Why we are here, and covers the background to the legislation and legislation updates.
- Introducing practical tips for performing the role and covers advice and information about who is there to support you.
- Corporate governance and the use of Standard Operating Procedures – these are issues that would be scrutinised during a Care Quality Commission inspection.
One of the roles of a Controlled Drug Accountable Officer is to investigate or to oversee investigations conducted on their behalf. A question to ask yourself is, If an incident arose, would my investigations at present stand up to the detailed scrutiny which would ultimately happen? The investigations training incorporated into the course will give you a working knowledge of the relevant legislation which you can then apply to all of your investigations, giving you confidence in the knowledge that you could withstand scrutiny at any level.
- As the course progresses the role is brought to life through the use of a scenario, which gradually builds and informs group discussions.
- Real life case studies will be discussed and attendees will learn from each other’s experiences.
