Record when medication has been given to a student

To record when a child has been issued medication you have two options - Pastoral notes and Medical events.

Pastoral notes

You could log a Pastoral note on the student profile. 

If the medication is administered regularly, you can click into the Pastoral note on the student profile and update the summary box with the up to date information OR add to the summary box that this has been administered on another day. 

This article explains how to add a pastoral note and how to pin this to a student profile so other staff members can see this. 

Medical events

Alternatively, you can log this as a medical event and put the category as 'Other'. You can see how to add a medical event here.

For this option, bear in mind that you would need to create a medical event for every day that medicine is administered. This would create a long list of medical events on the student profile and that will continue into the next academic year.
