Injection Administration Training is crucial for healthcare professionals to maintain their competence in administering injectable medications and ensure that they are up to date with the current best practices and techniques.

The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC, 2018) requires practitioners to maintain an appropriate level of competence in their skills. The National Patient Safety Agency also emphasises that all practitioners involved in administering injectable medicines must have the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitude to prepare and administer prescribed medications safely.

Unsafe injection practices can have significant consequences for patients, including nerve damage, abscesses, and pain, which can result in potential legal action. Therefore, it is essential for healthcare professionals to receive Injection Administration Training to ensure that they are providing optimal care to patients and avoiding adverse events.

By participating in Injection Administration Training, attendees will gain the necessary knowledge and skills to safely and effectively administer injectable medications, reducing the risk of harm to patients and promoting patient safety.
