For Registered Nurses
Avoid sending people to hospital unnecessarily by having your staff trained and skilled in IV cannulation and understanding medications used.
In a recent study of the 469 fatal medication error reports, 48.6% occurred in patients over 60 years and the most common causes of errors were performance and knowledge deficits (44%). (http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/407005_1)
This workshop is a mix of experiential and theory. In order for you to be safe you need to understand IV medications, their actions and potential side affects. If you don’t your patients are at serious risk.
