EOTC First Aid/Medicines

Ensure that one adult has a current first aid certificate and that the first aid equipment is accessible at all times.

Ensure that individual medication is administered as required and recorded (on the Medication Administered form). Medicines, except asthma inhalers, are held by the teacher in charge.

Record any first aid treatments on a first aid log, and any accidents on the accident register. If a student sustains a head injury, monitor them for delayed concussion.

If a student becomes ill at camp, alert the teacher in charge and follow infection control procedures.

No medication may be administered to a child without parental consent. Paracetamol may be given with verbal consent from a parent.

As necessary, follow the usual procedures for:
