Government Guidelines for Administering Medication in Schools
Discover the essential government guidelines for safely administering medication in schools and ensuring the well-being...
Medical Tracker addresses the challenge faced by school staff across the country, burdened with managing health records via outdated paper-based systems. Unable to find a suitable alternative, Medical Tracker was born:
✅ Track and log all injuries, illnesses, and medication administrations.
✅ Manage care plans.
✅ Monitor and manage full accident investigations.
✅ Eliminates paperwork.
✅ Enhances communication with parents/carers and staff.
✅ Facilitates effortless data analysis.
✅ Seamlessly integrates with your MIS.
We work with over 1 in 10 schools in the UK, and each is doing more than simply stepping towards a better process; they are shifting towards proactive safety with an insight-led solution.
Below are the total counts, per day, of key health conditions recorded in schools using Medical Tracker during the 24/25 academic year.
Insight like this helps leadership and medical teams look beyond an accident or an innocuous trip to the first-aid room, dig into their first-aid data to unearth trends and health conditions, and get proactive about physical healthcare.
Asthma symptoms and inhaler usage
Allergy and anaphylaxis instances.
Epileptic seizures and episodes.
Diabetes incidents and symptoms.
"I would recommend Medical Tracker without reservation to all schools".
"I have worked in 4 schools and have purchased Medical Tracker for all 4. It is probably the best value software, both financially and operationally, a school could purchase. I cannot praise it highly enough."
Carol Rowlands, School Business Manager.
And in a school where multiple first-aiders might respond at any moment, Julie highlights the value of instant access to student health details:
“There’s no guesswork. Anyone can see what medication a child’s taking, what they’re allergic to, what their care plan is. That’s critical when seconds matter.”
Julie Jones, Lead First-Aid Administrator.
"There was no reporting to senior management, no evaluation of incidents." This lack of oversight meant important trends went unnoticed.
"We have improved our head injury management as a result of statistics and the ability to demonstrate what care has been given. It has also increased our awareness of teaching and management of food allergies due to statistics".
Jane Graham, Group Medical Lead.

Spiralling allergy rates, mental health epidemics and shortfalls in SEND/care plan provisions are dominating our classrooms.
First-aid data can remedy these uncontrollable factors - digital systems facilitate early identification.

Accidents happen, of course. Regular medication administrations are needed, obviously.
Consolidate your records, standardise your recording, create consistency, involve parents/carers, identify trends and make school a safer place.
