However\, staff CPD opportunities seldom focus on these key areas. \n As part of a refocus of the training available through the BSA Group and Hieda\, we can now offer a standalone Professional Practice Certificate for school staff on medical matters. \nThis course will link professional practice with current research and best practice to provide a unique opportunity for non-registered medical staff\, whether working in relative isolation or as part of the medical team\, to develop their knowledge\, skills and practice across a wide range of the key current themes/topics most relevant to their role. In addition\, there will be a linked project which will provide the chance to focus on a specific aspect in more detail. \nThe course is tutor-led and will consist of three separate live online study days spread over a full academic year. The sessions on each study day will be a mixture of presentations often with an external expert\, and group discussions. \nStudy Days for This Module Are: \n\nDay 1:  February 5\, 2026\nDay 2:  March 5\, 2026\nDay 3:  March 19\, 2026\n\nTO BEGIN YOUR QUALIFICATION  CLICK HERE \nTimings for each study day – 10.00 to 15.45 \nTraining topics will include: \n\nThe role of a medical co-ordinator in a school setting\nMedical issues in the wider context: inspection planning\, managing medicines\nWorking with children with ASD and ADHD\nCommon illnesses and infection control\nManaging common injuries\nDelivering health education in a school setting\nWorking with asthma anaphylaxis\nMental health risk assessment/working with a mental health lead/pastoral team\nPolicy writing\nManaging children from overseas with medical conditions\nWorking with external agencies\nCourse assignment and reflection.\n\nCourse assignment: \nThe course assignment provides course students with an opportunity to focus on a specific area of particular relevance to their school/role. This can range from ‘supporting a student with a complex medical condition; a review of the medical provision in the school; the management of medical records across a whole school; health promotion models; to a student guide to accessing specific support for an emotional health issue. \nThe purpose is for the delegate to explore and compare their practice to guidance and whether it meets the needs of the child. \nThe assignment will take the form of a 2\,000+/-10%  word written essay  which must be submitted by July 2026. These will be assessed by the course tutor and the results published/certificates issued in the early Autumn. \nLearning outcomes: \n\nTo gain confidence in the role of medical management\nTo evaluate and reflect on current practice with a view to improving standards of care\nTo understand and be aware of current guidance that influences the practice we deliver\nTo network and develop awareness of the support available\nTo be able to work within the guidance safely.\n\n\nSpeakers: \nSinead O’Grady\, Lead Nurse\, Harrow School \nSinead is an Advanced nurse practitioner with over 15 years of nursing experience across hepatology\, haematology and emergency medicine.
