Medication policy

[jules]

I have the NCMA Accident, Incident and Medication Folder and a policy which the parents sign giving me permission to give the children medicine such as calpol and benylin when necessary.

I am confused about which part to fill in in the NCMA folder. If the child requires a dose of calpol or cough medicine, do I fill in Part 1 or Part 3. It might be for a few days if the child has a cold and cough.

I am sorry Jules I can't help you.

I have not used standard NCMA paperwork for a good few years now (Make and type my own forms etc) and they have changed considerably since I lasted looked at one.

Hopefully one of the others will be able to help

I've got NCMA accident / incident & medication book (not folder) and I've put administering calpol in section 3. Not sure if this is right but thats where I've put it. Hopefully this helps.

Thanks for the policy Kate. I was rather confused when I got the email as I hadn't read your reply on the forum. It's very similar to mine.

I have been putting it down in Section 3, but have had a thick moment and thought perhaps I've been doing it wrong.

Glad I'm not the only one putting it there then.
