KCL-00001702 Drug Calculations Learning & Medicine Management

The requirement arises from the need to provide a more cohesive, standardised and trackable approach to medicines management education and competency assessment. Current provision does not include a dedicated digital learning and assessment platform aligned with the Nursing and Midwifery Council requirements for medicines management. Teaching and assessment are largely manual, resulting in variability in delivery, delayed feedback and the late identification of students who require additional support. Medication-related Fitness to Practise cases further demonstrate the need to strengthen students’ preparation for safe medication administration.

The aim is to implement an accessible, secure and reliable digital platform through which students can undertake structured learning, repeated practice and assessment in drug calculations, numeracy, pharmacology and simulated medicines administration. The solution should provide authentic, practice-based learning activities, timely feedback and appropriate reporting so that students can develop and evidence competence before undertaking medication-related activities in clinical settings
