Who can help worksites with complex medication management issues?
The Access Assistant Program. Management can be complex because of the way medication is administered (eg rectally) or because of the care that goes with it (eg routine administration of oxygen or morphine for pain relief). The DECS training program Medication Management in Education and Children’s Services (MMECS) can assist sites to establish safe and reasonable medication management protocols. The Access Assistant Program can assist sites to undertake a risk assessment if there are complex administration or care issues (for further information see Complex and invasive health support).
