The effective online first aid book for schools
Recording and reporting injuries and incidents are one part of your school’s first aid provision (keeping you DfE first aid compliant). An effective first aid provision should take the leg-work out of keeping on top of the number of incidents, the location and trends across your school.
-
Meet DfE first aid compliance
Recording and reporting injuries are often done using a first aid book, this is time-consuming, costly and allows no data analysis. Medical Tracker’s online first aid software is DfE compliant and an effective online accident book for schools.
-
Know your school injury data
Do you know how many staff are first aid qualified? Or if last term’s injury count was higher or lower than the previous term? Our report creator feature allows your first aid data to make noise and show you where the trends, concerns and areas of improved practice are.
-
Make strategic changes in school
Injury frequency fluctuates throughout the school year. Medical Tracker’s report feature gives insight into long-term trends across your school or MAT. You may choose to increase staff supervision during adverse weather conditions based on previous data, helping you to make data-driven strategic changes.

Reduce serious medical incidents
Bumped heads, grazes and scrapes are an inevitability of children learning through exploration. However, serious head injuries or first aid incidents that result in a hospital trip are often avoidable. Proactively monitor your first aid provision across the school, recognising near-miss situations before serious incidents.
-
Track first aid trends across your school
Medical Tracker’s reports and insight feature allows schools to track injury and incident trends across school locations, pupils, or time and date. Recognise an increase in pupil illness and unpick the reasons easily using an online accident book.
-
Filter first aid incidents
Your school may be interested in reducing the number of near-miss head injuries during playtime. By filtering the recorded first aid incidents via near-miss, analysing the reasons for the near-misses can avoid potential concussions in the future.
-
Inform parents of injuries at school
You have a statutory requirement to inform parents of medical treatment their child has received during the school day. The automated parent notification feature notifies parents of injury and care action administered. This improves communication between home and school and reduces further damage outside of school (playing rugby after sustaining a head injury during school hours).
Create health and safety reports for governors
Creating health and safety reports for governors or trustees can be time-consuming. Our easy-to-use reporting feature allows for impact to be demonstrated through graphs and data collection.
-
Notice positive impact within health and safety
Tangible data is the easiest way to demonstrate positive strategic change in schools. If an area of concern was effective teaching assistant deployment during play times, a report to demonstrate the reduction of injuries in that site location can support the strategic change.
-
Highlight the need for funding use
Unstructured social times are often high-risk for injuries and incidents, support future outdoor equipment plans with useful data to highlight the need for funding application or budget spending on engaging outdoor resources.
-
Improve risk management practice across the school
Improve your risk management in school by creating actionable health and safety reports linked to first aid records.

Improve pupil safety on offsite trips
Educational trips and visits are important for cultural capital and experiential learning. Organising external educational visits comes with increased risk. Ensure all staff are aware of student medical conditions, allergies and scheduled medication when offsite with Medical Tracker.
-
Pupil allergies accessible
Through filtered searches, access to whole-school and cohort allergy information couldn’t be easier. Giving teaching and support staff confidence when taking unfamiliar children offsite.
-
Scheduled medication administration shared
Students may be on long-term medication that is taken regularly throughout the day (including inhalers of asthma), or short-term antibiotics. Remove the potential for human error and export all medication administration lists via Excel or PDF.
-
Access parent contact details when offsite
Linked to your school MIS system, Medical Tracker has access to the most up-to-date parent contact information. Allowing staff to access using a hand-held device or tablet when offsite using WIFI connection or export and carry with confidence.
It helps me with our site manager and look at health and safety improvements. For example, In technology, the bulk of our injuries were eye injuries and it was through not wearing safety goggles. So we were able to locate what health and safety issues are happening in departments.

It's a really simple solution to a complex problem. I can't think why no one has come up with it before now. It’s also easy to get support and the system is being developed all the time.
