A carer is able to remind a client when to take their medication and the client takes their medication themselves, usually via the use of a Webster pack made up and provided by a chemist. Medication prompting can be given at various times during the day whenever necessary such as at breakfast or evening. It is usually part of a personal care routine.

BCD Community Care carers are Assistants in Nursing and as such are permitted to prompt clients to take their medication. They do so professionally, promptly and with care.
