JEC Guidelines

A guideline on training standards for the administration on rectal diazepam

"This document is intended as a guideline for those purchasing as well as those delivering training in the administration of rectal diazepam. It is hoped that it will provide guidance to local authority registration and inspection teams and help to establish a minimum standard of training which will apply throughout the UK and Ireland."

Core Components:

Following training, an employer arranges for the participant to observe the procedure carried out by a trained and experienced member of staff, and is supervised on at least the first occasion the procedure is carried out.

Following the course a training provider or work based assessor carries out assessment using one or more of the following: questioning,oral or written, case studies, projects,reflective accounts of their work.

During the course the training provider checks that learning is taking place, supervising the participant in a simulated procedure using an anatomical model.

(The Guidelines can be purchased from the JEC at the cost of £5.00,) See the links page.
