Medication Administration

Ensuring safety, dignity, and confidence with every dose

At Gifted Hands Home Care, we understand how important safe and timely medication is to maintaining your health and wellbeing. That’s why our Medication Administration service is designed to provide reliable, person-centred support — tailored to your individual needs.

What Is Medication Administration?

Medication Administration involves the support, prompting, or direct administration of prescribed medications to ensure clients receive the correct dosage at the right time and in the correct manner. This can include oral medications, topical creams, eye drops, inhalers, or more complex treatments prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Whether you need a gentle reminder or full support with your medication, our experienced carers are here to help.

How We Support You

We offer a flexible, compassionate service that supports clients in:

Prompting or reminding you to take your medication.
Administering medication safely if you’re unable to do so independently.
Monitoring for side effects or changes in condition.
Managing medication records and ensuring proper documentation.
Collecting prescriptions when agreed in advance.

We work closely with you and your family to create a personalised medication support plan, based on your GP’s instructions and your preferences.

Carer Training and Competency

All our care professionals receive:

Specialist training in medication management, including safe handling, storage, and administration techniques.
Ongoing assessments to ensure they maintain the highest standards of competency and confidence.
Training on the use of MAR (Medication Administration Record) charts, infection control, and identifying adverse reactions.
Refresher training as part of our commitment to continuous professional development.

You can trust that your medication is being handled by qualified, trained professionals who prioritise your safety and dignity.

Working in Partnership

To ensure seamless care, we collaborate with:

GPs and local pharmacies for up-to-date prescriptions and medication reviews.
Community Nurses and District Nursing Teams for complex needs such as injections, wound care, or palliative support.
NHS Discharge Teams and Hospitals to manage medication after hospital stays.
Family members or appointed representatives, so everyone involved remains informed and reassured.
