Medication Sick Day Guidance: Training for Care Home Staff

We have provided a short training presentation which gives an overview of

  • how to recognise a dehydrating illness,
  • how to access the medication ‘Sick day guidance’ through the free Polypharmacy: Manage Medicines app
  • what actions to take if someone has a dehydrating illness including when to restart the medication or seek further medical review.

We have also provided a couple of resources to help record the use of the guidance and develop case studies in its use – these are for internal use and can help reinforce the training in a operational context.
