Over the past year, the Asthma Society of Ireland, Diabetes Federation of Ireland, Brainwave-the Irish Epilespsy Association and Anaphylaxis Ireland have come together to produce a resource pack Managing Chronic Health Conditions at School.
As a management body NABMSE was consulted on the resource pack and welcomes it’s publication in time for the new school year.
This pack is a toolkit containing:
- Information on developing or updating your school’s guidelines on managing students with chronic health conditions
- Standardised healthcare plan and template forms/letters that can be adapted to meet your school’s information need for each student with a chronic condition
- Clear outline of parents, teachers and Board of Management responsibilities to aid communication and expectations in managing students with a chronic condition
- Practical information including an Emergency Plan on each condition for teachers and guidance on safe storage and safe disposal of medications at school.
Every school in Ireland will receive this resource pack ( and DVDs) in September 2011.
