Guidance on the administration of medicines in schools & colleges (including over the counter medicines, salbutamol and adrenaline auto injectors)
The following documents have been developed as a resource for school teams who are supporting pupils with medicines; the guidance is equally relevant to colleges, nurseries and child minders.
The information reflects the following two key documents and local and national health care policies and should be used in conjunction with these guidelines.
These documents have been created in partnership with Bedford Borough Council, Central Bedfordshire Council and Bedfordshire Clinical Commission Group.
