Medication Training

Life Plus provides Medication Training for all new care staff and annual refresher training for current staff to ensure best practice is maintained. Medication Training has two important components - theory based which is accessible via our Life Hub and practical based which is carried out by a registered nurse in your local office. The aim of the training is to ensure our staff are competent to provide safe practice for our clients who require medication support.

MAPA Training

Management of Actual or Potential Aggression is a behaviour management system. It teaches the skills required so support workers assess, manage and respond to risk behaviour. The focus is on de-escalation, prevention and early intervention. Safe physical intervention options are also taught, to be only used as a last resort. The programme gives you an effective framework for decision making and problem-solving. You’ll leave the course equipped with the skills and confidence to champion a culture of Care, Welfare, Safety, and Security.
