AnonyMouse_49342 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I have always adopted the practice that a practitioner holding a level 3 can only administer medication. However I cannot find any supporting guidance for this practice? What practice does everyone else adopt within their policies? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 just a trained person in mine.but all of us are first aid trained so not a problem. I would actually prefer their keyworker to do it , as they know them best and we always have a witness too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_12960 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I think the real issue here is not whether someone is level 2/3 or 4, but rather do they holda paediatric first aid qualification. We have staff without childcare qualifications, but they are first aid trained....Id let them administer first aid and medications. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
