We will administer emergency medication that has been prescribed by a doctor for ongoing conditions. For example, epilepsy and asthma. Medication must come into school in the original container and packaging. It must be clearly labelled with:
-
The name of the learner
-
The prescribed dosage
-
The time of administration
-
The method of administration
-
The date of issue
-
The date of expiry
Other Medication
We will also dispense other medication such as antibiotics or anti histamines. Parents/Carers should be aware that the same procedure applies regarding the original packaging and the clear labels.
You will also need to complete a form stating that you give the school staff permission to administer medication to your young person. This form can be requested from the school office or through your class teacher.
