School Supervised Medication

 

Pupils who require medication administering in school should discuss this in the first instance with the head teacher.  All medications should be presented to school in their original packaging and only as a prescribed by a GP or consultant. The Headteacher will be able to discuss the  school's administration of medicines policy and procedures. Further advice and support can be given by The School Health Advisor for the individual school or The Physical and Sensory Service (Tel. 01384 818007 E-mail via our online form).
