14 Appendix 3: National Minimum Standards on Medication Source: The Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) report, Handled With Care? Managing medication for residents of care homes and children s homes- a follow up study. February 2006 Care Homes for Older People: Medication within the Home. Dept of Health 3 rd Edition 2006 ISBN OUTCOME Service users are protected by the home s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines and, where appropriate, are responsible for their own medication. 1. The registered person ensures that there is a policy and staff adhere to procedures, for the receipt, recording, storage, handling, administration and disposal of medicines, and service users are able to take responsibility for their own medication if they wish, within a risk management framework. 2. The service user, following assessment as able to self-administer medication, has a lockable space in which to store medication, to which suitably trained, designated care staff may have access with the service user s permission. 3. Records are kept of all medicines received, administered and leaving the home or disposed of to ensure that there is no mishandling. A record is maintained of current medication for each service user (including those self-administering). 4. Medicines in the custody of the home are handled according to the requirements of the Medicines Act 1968, guidelines from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, the requirements of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and nursing staff abide by the UKCC Standards for the administration of medicines. 5. Controlled Drugs administered by staff are stored in a metal cupboard, which complies with the Misuse of Drugs (Safe Custody) Regulations Medicines, including Controlled Drugs, for service users receiving nursing care, are administered by a medical practitioner or registered nurse. 7. In residential care homes, all medicines, including Controlled Drugs, (except those for selfadministration) are administered by designated and appropriately trained staff. The administration of Controlled Drugs is witnessed by another designated, appropriately trained member of staff. The training for care staff must be accredited and must include: a. basic knowledge of how medicines are used and how to recognise and deal with problems in use b. the principles behind all aspects of the home s policy on medicines handling and records 8. Receipt, administration and disposal of Controlled Drugs are recorded in a Controlled Drugs register 9. The registered manager seeks information and advice from a pharmacist regarding medicines policies within the home and medicines dispensed for individuals in the home 10. Staff monitor the condition of the service user on medication and call in the GP if staff are concerned about any change in condition that may be a result of medication, and prompt the review of medication on a regular basis 11. When a service user dies, medicines should be retained for a period of seven days in case there is a coroner s inquest. Legal and other requirements on care homes Care homes in England must register with CSCI and are legally required to conduct their business in accordance with the Care Homes Regulations Care homes have a legal obligation to look after the medication of the people for whom they care. Alongside the regulations, national minimum standards (NMS) are published by the Department of Health for care homes. Although these standards are not legally enforceable, they do set out achievable outcomes for people using these services and therefore identify what care providers need to do in order to meet their legal obligations. The standards address issues of: Privacy and dignity; Residents choice and control over their own lives; How cultural and social, spiritual and educational needs are met; Health and well-being; Advice to Care Homes SLA Page 14 of 15
15 The quality of the physical environment; and Protection from harm and abuse physical, emotional, financial or sexual Medication is included in the group of standards concerned with the health and personal care of adult residents, and those concerned with the quality of care of children in care homes. The importance of standards on the management of medication in homes The standards on medication provide a baseline for assessing the management of medicines in care homes for older people and younger adults, and in children s homes. Homes bear day-to-day responsibility for the care of their residents, many of whom have complex physical and mental health needs. Where adults and children need medicines, they differ in the degree to which they are able to manage the administration of medicines themselves. Some residents may be fully self-sufficient while others may be wholly reliant on the support of care workers in the home. In many cases they may be vulnerable to the risk of mistakes being made and at worst, some may be in danger of abuse through the willful mal-administration of medication. All homes are therefore expected to manage the administration, storage and disposal of medication appropriately with the precise requirements varying in detail according to the type of home and the capacity of the individual concerned.
