Any healthcare professional who administers or is able to prescribe medicines needs access to formal education explaining how to incorporate evidence-based knowledge of medication safety into everyday practice. This Ausmed Course provides essential education on how to find and utilise the most up-to-date and credible information on medicines.
The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care has identified improving the safety and quality of medication in Australia as a key priority. Constant changes are made to medication standards, recommendations, guidelines, and to the availability of new products and advancement in research and product development.
It is essential that all registered nurses and other health professionals keep up-to-date with these changes and understand how medicines are regulated and how the Quality Use of Medicines (QUM) can be used to improve patient outcomes. It is equally important that all health professionals can identify high-quality sources of drug information to ensure that the most appropriate medications are administered.
The purpose of this Ausmed Course is to provide registered nurses and other health professionals with a general update on credible sources of medication information and the quality use of medicines.
All registered nurses and nurse practitioners, as well as other health professionals who routinely administer and/or prescribe medicines.
