Management of Medication Toowoomba August Training Dates 10:00 am and 3:30 pm Wednesday 13th 3:30 pm Thursday 14th What is happening with PPE and masks?
BigDog has a commitment to the maintenance of safe and effective practices in assisting participants in the management of their individual medication regimes to the level of support they require. BigDog will only assist with medication where a participant is not able to take medication themselves unsupervised and a pharmacist has dispensed medication into a Webster-Pak.
The short answer – the NDIA are not budging. People can only use their NDIS funds to purchase Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) if it was something they regularly bought before the pandemic began. In the middle of a pandemic where people with disability are at increased risk – either of infection or getting sicker or both – this decision doesn’t seem fair or sensible. PPE Training Uniting Care QLD have developed a video around the correct use of PPE - Donning and Doffing instructions. https://youtu.be/haX9Sv-tu5I
