St Benedict’s Medicines Management – CBA Core Assessment

Welcome to this Medicines Management Competency Based Assessment

The aim

The purpose of this exercise is twofold, to provide assurance and highlight learning needs.

• The assurance is both for you and the organisation that employs you, to have evidence to demonstrate your competence in medicines management.
• The learning needs are both for you and your line manager to form an action plan of what you need to achieve this year and to feed into your PDP.

Top Tips

If you know the answer to a question, don’t look it up in a reference source, this only takes extra time and isn’t a true reflection of what you’d do in practice.

If you aren’t sure of the answer to a question and you can’t find it in any of the resources usually available to you, then write down what you’d do in practice.

Most of all… don’t panic!
