At High Oaks we recognize the importance of medication in the effective treatment of mental illness and we ensure that the highest professional standards are adhered to in the storage, administration, monitoring and disposal of medicines.
Initially all residents have their medication administered by a qualfied nurse who continuously monitors its effects in conjunction with the resident.
Each resident's medication is reviewed at regular intervals. If changes are needed between reviews, a referral is made to the resident's consultant and/or GP.
Should a resident wish to assume full responsibility for their medication then, provided that this is consistent with their risk assessment and Support Plan, they will be encouraged to do so.

A lockable wall safe is provided for safe storage in each resident's bedroom.
