Key Points from the trial include:

• Students were set an exam at a specific time and date during the exam period. The ten question Numeracy exam was undertaken online through the Med+Safe® programme with a first sit pass rate of 92%. Only one student failed and was supported through the academic consideration process and with remedial work to resit.
• In previous years a written ten question quiz was undertaken in the classroom with a first attempt pass rate of 60% (average across years). A great number of hours were then required to support students through remedial work and with resit opportunities for the tutors and the Subject Coordinator.
• Over 93% of respondents Agreed or strongly agreed that the Med+Safe online module helped improve understanding of both numeracy in general, medication calculation and of medication administration.
• More than 90% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the modules were engaging, accurately measured what they were learning, and 88.56% found the module to be authentic and real world. More than 88% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the modules; stimulated critical thinking; stimulated their interest in medication administration; were easy to navigate and easy to use; suited their learning style and enabled them to create an individual learner centred pathway using the activities and sections in the programme.
• Crucially – respondents strongly agreed (41.29%) or agreed (49.75%) that they felt more prepared for workplace experience through engaging in the Med+Safe module and over 94% of respondents felt more confident about medication administration.
