HEALTHCARE INFORMATION
IF YOUR CHILD HAS A MEDICAL NEED
It is important that the school has an updated picture of students’ individual medical needs. In many cases, conditions are often well-managed and students are able to take steps independently to meet their healthcare needs. If you need to keep medicines in the school for your child, we need your parental permission to administer these and a form can be obtained through the School Office.
HEALTH CARE PLAN
For some children and young people with more serious conditions, we may need additional planning in place should they take unwell and a Health Care Plan would be required so everyone is clear on the right steps to take. Please speak with the School Office in the first instance if you think this may apply.
SCHOOL NURSING SERVICE
The School can make a referral to the School Nursing Service for a range of supports and services, usually through your child or young person’s Principal Teacher of Pupil Support or Principal Teacher of Communication Centre. More information can be found in the following link: School Nursing – NHS Ayrshire & Arran (nhsaaa.net)
IMMUNISATIONS
At key points in the year the School Nurse team will visit to make sure students are up-to-date with immunisations for their age and stage. Information about when this will happen is contained in the School Calendar: 2024-2025 School Calendar for Parents & Carers
Further information about the immunisations provided is given in the following link: Childhood immunisations – NHS Ayrshire & Arran (nhsaaa.net)
