Course Content

The Hibernian Administration of Medicines course for Pharmacists is a comprehensive one-day program designed to equip pharmacists with essential medication administration techniques. This is a statutory training programme that allows a pharmacist to vaccinate patients over the age of 6 months. For further information about the programme visit https://www.thepsi.ie/education-and-training/vaccinations-training.

Pharmacists who wish to offer vaccination services must complete the PSI-approved training pathway. This includes holding current CPR certificates (for both adults and children) and Anaphylaxis training certificates, as well as completing a Medicines Administration course. Hibernian offers a program that allows pharmacists to fulfil all these training requirements. If their certifications are already up-to-date, they have the option to only complete the Medicines Administration course to meet their statutory obligations.

The Hibernian Administration of Medicines course is a full-day session and covers a variety of practical skills, including:

  • Subcutaneous injection
  • Intramuscular injection
  • Using pre-filled devices
  • Drawing medication from an ampule
  • Reconstituting medication and drawing from a vial
  • Identifying and using different injection sites, such as the deltoid, abdomen, and vastus lateralis
  • Administering injections to adults
  • Administering injections to children

What you can expect

By mastering these techniques, participants will be prepared to administer new vaccines and enhance their overall competency in the broader field of medication administration.
