The day will include common medical conditions, the safe storage and administration of medicines, ‘red flags’, mental health and medical policies.

This is a valuable day for anyone managing a boarding house with access to medicines for distribution, or for any staff member who may routinely be involved in the care of young people, and provision of medicines.

Training topics will include:

  • Safeguarding
  • Policies and procedures
  • Management of medicines
  • Confidentiality and consent
  • Supporting pupils with long term conditions
  • Infection control
  • ‘Red flags’.

Learning outcomes:

  • To be confident in dealing with medical matters
  • To have a good understanding of the policies and procedures that need to be in place for those with medical conditions and be able to apply this to your area of practice
  • To be understanding of consent
  • To understand how to maintain good standards of care.

Speaker: Jane Graham, Director, Hieda

Trained at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children, Jane has 27 years in nursing; 17 of them in trauma and intensive care. Whilst in PICU, she had a number of different roles. Nine years of that included a role as a specialist retrieval nurse (CATS) that entailed travelling around the country to stabilize and bring back critically unstable children. To do this she learned advanced nursing and basic medical skills in resuscitation, all medical conditions, and trauma.

She went on to teach these skills to student nurses, qualified nurses and junior doctors as the Practice educator on intensive care. This role also involved lecturing regularly at South Bank University. She has been a DSL for Safeguarding at an independent boarding school where she was Lead Nurse. She is also an instructor for Qualsafe, an awarding body approved by the HSE.
