Medication Storage

This is what I use and I actually just ordered a second one to accommodate the number of meds we have. I like this system because it offers a work space for water cups, med bottles, MARs when you open it. It does have keys to open, but maybe the company offers a key pad alternative? I ordered directly through Datum and got a better price.

I just got a new office this year, and I have meds in an actual wall cabinet like in a clinic, with a counter top underneath. They are lockable and right beside a sink with a cup dispenser.

I have all of my meds in one locked wall mounted cabinet. The cabinet is about 2ftx3ft with two shelves. I have two keys for it, one in my drawer and one on my lanyard. I separate meds into four Sterilite bins with lids. Epi Pens A-L, Epi Pens M-Z, Asthma meds, daily & PRN/miscellaneous meds. Both of my diabetic students have their own little kits made by their parents with extra supplies kept in the next cabinet over (for space reasons), obviously any meds in need of refrigeration are in my fridge. My diabetic students rarely use my office (both independent and use CGM and insulin pumps) but when they need to put on a new pod or if they need to administer insulin they'll go into my little room that has a cot and a table.

With meds in so many drawers and areas, how will you get them all in case of an emergency?

I have all meds & med orders in my cart. Go bag hanging off side. This "med cart" cost $200, way cheaper than an official med cart.

I used to have three lockable cabinets (four shelves each, about 3 feet tall). Wasn't enough room. I have a similar rolling med cart now, minus the AWESOME stickers, and I am the envy of every dad who walks into my clinic!
