The Inset Day on 23 September focused on ‘First Aid in Schools with Medical Conditions Awareness’ and was delivered by Medicot, a training provider covering all First Aid situations in schools. 

The day covered various conditions such as diabetes, asthma, allergies, anaphylaxis and epilepsy. It was a full on day but so important for us to be able to provide the best care for our students in the case of a medical emergency.

We are also really lucky to have a number of staff trained to higher levels of First Aid, such as:

• Outdoor First Aid for things like the Duke of Edinburgh Award expeditions
• Sports First Aid for any sporting injuries sustained during matches or practices
• Emergency First Aid at Work (such as members of the Site Team who can perform First Aid duties out of hours).

Thanks to everyone who took part!
