The NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) and many NHS Trusts classify self-administration of medicines into three levels — Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 — based on the patient’s ability and the nurse’s responsibility
The NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) and many NHS Trusts classify self-administration of medicines into three levels — Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 — based on the patient’s ability and the nurse’s responsibility.
Here’s a clear breakdown:
🔵 Level 1 – Nurse Administers Medication
The nurse is fully responsible for the safe storage, preparation, and administration of all medication.
The patient is not involved in administering their own medicines.
Common for newly admitted, confused, or very unwell patients.
🔹 Key point: Full nurse control.
🔵 Level 2 – Supervised Self-Administration
The patient administers their own medicines but under the direct supervision of a registered nurse.
The nurse is responsible for storage (e.g., in a locked cabinet).
At the time of administration, the nurse unlocks the storage, and the patient self-administers the medication with the nurse watching or assisting if needed.
🔹 Key point: Shared responsibility. The nurse supervises, but the patient actively participates.
🔵 Level 3 – Independent Self-Administration
The patient is fully responsible for storing and taking their medication independently.
The nurse ensures that the patient is assessed as competent to handle their own medications safely.
The patient is given full control, but is monitored occasionally for compliance and safety.
🔹 Key point: Patient has full independence with oversight.
