We have a legal responsibility to be aware of any medication you are taking. If you are able to look after and take your medication on your own then we encourage this. However please inform your key workers of what your current medication and how often you are required to take it. If your medication should change please inform us so that we could update our records.
Any medication that you look after yourself must be kept securely locked in your lockable cabinet. Your key worker would need to make checks on this from time to time to ensure that you are doing this and that you are taking your medication correctly. This would be agreed with you and recorded in your care plan
If you feel you are not capable of looking after your medication yourself then we would be happy to look after them for you and to ensure that they are administered at the correct times.
