Medicines in care homes.

What’s new? In March, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published new standards on managing medicines in care homes. Highlighting this as a key issue in need of urgent improvement, the standard covers the prescribing, handling and administering of medicines for adults, children and young people living in care homes. It includes a list of actions to make sure that health and social care practitioners are aware of residents’ needs and can administer the right medicines to the right person at the right time.
