IV Drug Administration Theory NOTES

Practical Course Preparation

Please complete this sheet as you work through the eLearning Theory Modules and bring it along to the
practical workshop so that we can answer any questions that the theory has brought up for you. If you

As this way of delivering the course is new, we would also like feedback on how the eLearning works, both
