The Medication Training Company

What The Medication Training Company does

The Medication Training Company is a UK-based specialist training provider focused exclusively on medication administration and management for health and social care settings. Founded in 2003 by John Greene, a registered pharmacist with 30+ years of experience, the company serves care homes (residential and nursing), community and home care providers, schools, foster care and Shared Lives schemes, and personal assistants across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Its courses are the only medicines administration courses in the UK accredited by the Royal College of Nursing, with additional CPD Assessed and UKRLP verified provider credentials.

The core technology is a video-based interactive e-learning platform accessed via a custom online learning portal, where learners complete virtual medicines rounds and structured competence assessment checklists developed from 20+ years of research into medication errors. The Foundation Course Builder is a configurable online tool that generates a bespoke foundation course based on care setting, MAR chart type, blister pack usage, preferred delivery format, and duration. The platform includes a manager reporting dashboard for tracking learner progress and voucher redemptions. Complementary products include a physical Controlled Drugs Register (co-created with national care home chains) and downloadable MAR charts, seizure records, and emergency medication forms.

The business model is multi-stream: per-seat public courses (£33-£250 per person), per-workshop private team bookings (£675-£1,995 per workshop with delegate caps), B2B e-learning voucher packs with tiered volume discounts, a physical product (Controlled Drugs Register), and recurring revenue from 2-year recertification refresher courses. The company sells directly through its website (medicationtraining.co.uk) and online training portal, with a blended sales-led and event-driven go-to-market combining individual self-serve enrolment, direct sales for private team bookings, and content marketing (free downloads, best practice blog, email newsletter) for demand generation. The company is registered as The Prescription Training Company Ltd (company number 6731235), a private limited company in England and Wales, with no disclosed external funding.

Core offering

The Medication Training Company delivers practical medication administration training courses for UK health and social care workers across care homes, community settings, schools, and personal assistance roles. Training is offered in three formats — in-person workshops, live virtual webinars, and self-paced online e-learning with video-based virtual medicines rounds for competence assessment — alongside medicines audits, medication policy writing, and a proprietary physical Controlled Drugs Register. The foundation courses are the only medicines administration courses in the UK accredited by the Royal College of Nursing.

Product overview

The Medication Training Company offers a comprehensive suite of medication training courses and related products for the UK health and social care sector. The core offering consists of Foundation Courses in Medicines Administration (available as online on-demand, in-person, and virtual webinar formats, with versions for various settings including care homes, community settings, foster care, shared lives, personal assistants, and schools), which are accredited by the Royal College of Nursing and CPD Assessed. These foundation courses form the baseline training, with additional pathways for refresher courses (annual updates), assessor training (for staff assessing competence), intermediate/advanced courses for medicines management, and specialist technique courses covering areas such as rectal medicines, PEG tube administration, nebulisers, oxygen therapy, diabetes, anaphylaxis, controlled drugs, anticoagulants, vagal nerve stimulation, and seizure management.

Emerging players

• Florence (training arm): UK digital platform connecting care workers with employers, increasingly expanding into compliance and training content for the social care workforce. An emerging player whose training arm intersects with TMTC's target buyer segment.
• Skills Platform: UK marketplace aggregating accredited training courses for the care sector, including medication administration. An emerging platform competitor that curates rather than delivers training, potentially diverting demand from specialist providers like TMTC.

Direct peers

• Acute Training Solutions: UK healthcare and social care training provider offering medication administration courses for care homes and domiciliary care. A direct competitor in the specialist medicines training space.
• Caredemy: Online care training marketplace offering medication awareness and administration courses to UK care providers. Competes on price and breadth of catalogue, but typically at a less specialist level than TMTC.
• Virtual College: UK e-learning provider offering health and social care compliance courses including medicines management. Competes with TMTC in the online training market for care home staff, though at a more generalist level without the RCN accreditation or specialist pharmacist-led delivery.
• Me Learning: UK provider of online care sector training, including medication administration modules for care staff. Directly competes with TMTC on online medicines training for the social care workforce.
• Charles Bloe Training: UK nurse-led training provider offering clinical and medication courses for healthcare and social care professionals. Directly comparable as a clinically-led competitor in the UK medication training niche.

Broad incumbents

• High Speed Training: UK provider of CPD-accredited online courses including medication handling for care staff. A broader incumbent that covers many compliance subjects rather than specialising in medication administration like TMTC.
• Skills for Care: UK workforce development body for adult social care. Offers training resources, digital learning, and endorsed programmes across the social care sector, including medication handling. A broader incumbent whose scope overlaps with TMTC but is not specialised in medicines administration.
• The Access Group (Care & Compliance): Large UK software and services group with a care sector training division. Offers medication training as part of a broader care compliance portfolio, including LMS and e-learning tools. A broad incumbent competing on integrated compliance solutions.
