The Sick Bay

One child sent to the clinic, followed all afternoon — the visit logged, the allergy the nurse checks before treating, the dose recorded against the stock it came from, the injury written up, and the whole thing reaching the pupil’s own record and their guardian before the end of the day.

The five minutes before treatment are the ones that matter

A school clinic is not a small hospital; it is a room where somebody has to make a fast decision about a child they may not know, and then tell a parent about it. Almost everything that makes that safe happens before any treatment: knowing the allergy, knowing the condition, knowing who to ring. EaseAcademia’s clinic is built around that fact — the health record is written once at enrolment and read at the moment it counts, the dose is recorded against the stock it came out of, and the parent finds out the same day rather than at pick-up. Health & Clinic Management is a paid module; the pupil record it reads and the guardian it reaches are base platform.

Step 1 · School nurse

A child arrives at the door

Everything starts with a visit record, and it is opened before anything is done — because the log is not paperwork about the treatment, it is the thing that makes the treatment accountable.

1

Open the visit

Who arrived, when, why, and who sent them. The visit is the spine of everything that follows — the observations, the medication, the outcome and the parent notification all hang off this one record.

Complaint, time in, and whether they were sent by a teacher or came themselves
Triage: treated and returned to class, resting, or sent home
Vitals recorded against the visit, so a pattern across visits is visible later
The stat row above is the server’s count of today’s clinic — open visits, sent home, still resting

Step 2 · School nurse

Read before you treat

This is the screen that justifies the whole module. A nurse treating a child she has not met needs to know, in seconds, what would make the obvious treatment dangerous — and that information was written months ago by a parent filling in an enrolment form.

1

The health record

Allergies, chronic conditions, blood group, immunisations and the emergency contact — held against the pupil record, not in a separate clinic index that goes stale when a child changes class.

Allergies and conditions surfaced first, because that is what changes the decision
Blood group and immunisation history for the cases where it matters
The emergency contact is the guardian link the platform already holds — not a second phone number to keep current
Read by the clinic; owned by the pupil record, so it follows the child

Step 3 · School nurse

The dose, and where it came from

Administering medicine in a school is the part with real legal weight. Two records make it defensible: what was given to whom, by whom, and at what time — and the fact that it came out of stock the school can account for.

1

Record the administration

Every dose given, with the drug, the amount, the time and the person who gave it — against the visit that occasioned it. Medication a child brings from home is held by the clinic and administered on the same log, which is the only way a school can say what a pupil has actually taken.

Drug, dose, route and time, recorded against the visit
The staff member who administered it is named, not implied
Parent-supplied medication held in the clinic’s custody and dispensed on the same record
Consent for administration is checked against what the guardian actually agreed to
2

The stock it came out of

The clinic’s own inventory, decremented by the administration above. It answers the two questions a school gets asked at inspection — what do you hold, and has any of it expired — without a separate stock book.

Quantities held, with expiry dates tracked per batch
Low-stock and expiring items surfaced before they run out
Administrations draw the stock down; there is no second count to reconcile
Controlled items separated from the general first-aid stock

Set this up for your team.

Step 4 · School nurse

The injury that has to be written up

A grazed knee is a visit. A fall in the playground is an incident, and it is a different record on purpose: it names where it happened, who saw it, and what was done — which is what a school needs when it is asked about it a year later.

1

The incident record

Location, time, witnesses, the nature of the injury and the action taken. It is separate from the visit because it is about the EVENT rather than the treatment, and because the people who need to read it — the head, the insurer — are not the people who read a visit log.

Where it happened and who witnessed it, recorded at the time
Severity and the action taken, including whether a parent was called
Linked to the visit it produced, so the treatment and the cause are one story
Reportable incidents distinguished from the ones that are not

Step 5 · Student

Their own health, in their own portal

The pupil is not a bystander to their own medical record. An older student in particular needs to know what they are taking and when — and a record they can read is one they can correct.

1

My visits

Every time this pupil has been to the clinic, with what for and what was done. It is the same visit the nurse opened an hour ago, seen from the other end — no summary, no export, no delay.

Date, complaint and outcome for every visit
Their own record only
A pattern — four headaches in a fortnight — is visible to the pupil too
2

What I have been given

The doses administered to them, and any medication of theirs the clinic is holding. For a pupil with a long-term condition this is the screen that matters most, because it is the one that says whether this morning’s dose actually happened.

Every administration with its drug, dose and time
Medication of theirs held in the clinic’s custody
Read-only: a pupil sees their record and does not edit it

Step 6 · Parent

Told before home time

The clinic has no parent portal of its own, and it should not: a guardian does not want a health app, they want to know how their child’s day went. So a ward’s clinic activity sits on the ward page beside their attendance and their results — one place, one login, whatever it is about.

1

The ward page

The guardian opens the child, not the module. Today’s clinic visit appears alongside attendance, behaviour and results — which is how a parent actually thinks about a school day, and why the clinic is worth having inside the platform rather than beside it.

Clinic visits summarised on the ward page with everything else about that child
One login covers every ward a guardian is linked to
The same record the nurse wrote — not a notification about it
What a guardian may see is bounded by which children are theirs, not by a role

Step 7 · School office

The two things a clinic does that are not about one child

A clinic spends most of its time reacting. The last two screens are the two places it does not: a screening programme run across a whole year group, and the moment a pupil leaves still holding something of the clinic’s.

1

Screening a whole year group

Vision, hearing, height and weight, run as a programme against a cohort rather than one child at a time. The results land on the same health records the nurse read in step two, which is what makes a screening worth running twice.

A programme scoped to a grade or the whole school
Progress tracked as a roster, so nobody is missed
Results written to each pupil’s health record, not to a spreadsheet
Follow-ups flagged where a result is outside the expected range
2

What the clinic is still holding

When a pupil leaves, the clinic may still have their inhaler in a locked cupboard. Two registers, one tab apart, resolve that: everyone the clinic is holding something for, and the leavers whose exit is waiting on the clinic to say so.

The debt list is computed live from custody records, never from a stored verdict
The sign-off tab is the leavers only — an exit is blocked until the clinic signs
Sign off, or waive with a reason, from the row of that queue
The clinic signs for the clinic; no other office can clear its line
