Medication Audit Checklist
This medication audit checklist helps care homes and nursing facilities review end to end medicines management. It covers safe ordering and receipt of prescriptions, storage and stock rotation, fridge controls and temperature monitoring, handling of controlled drugs, disposal processes, and the management of homely remedies. Guidance includes supporting residents who self manage, gaining consent, and maintaining accurate records including MAR charts. Sections also address correct administration practices, allergy checks, special instructions, and escalation to pharmacists or GPs. A dedicated warfarin section ensures doses match the yellow book or INR results and that next tests are scheduled.
