A guided product example

Review a medication outcome, its stock record and the MAR

Review the school’s medication queue for 8 September, inspect Amelia Bennett’s inhaler stock record, then export the previous day’s medication administration record (MAR).

The notes explain what each screen shows and what to check in your own walkthrough.

  1. Step 1

    Check what is due in the medication round

    The queue shows 36 active medication records, nine due now and six overdue. Open the pupil’s medication record to check the scheduled time, instructions and consent before recording the outcome.

    Explore medication recording
    The round brings scheduled entries and follow-up together for authorised staff.
  2. Step 2

    Inspect the stock evidence

    Amelia’s Salbutamol inhaler record shows 180 counted units, batch OF26-101 and a reorder threshold of 20. The receipt retains the start-of-term stock-check note and its date. Check counted units against the medicine’s instructions.

    Explore medication stock records
    The stock receipt records 180 units received, with the medicine stored in Medical room cabinet A.
  3. Step 3

    Inspect the resulting MAR

    Choose the reporting dates and export the MAR. The 7 September file contains 36 recorded administrations, each marked Given and attributed to Sarah Williams. Inspect pupil, medicine, dose, time and author together.

    Download the MAR CSV
    The screen shows the export controls. Download the CSV produced by the app to inspect all 36 rows.

Reading the health record

  • The current round separates entries due now from overdue follow-up.
  • Amelia’s stock receipt records 180 counted units, with batch, location and reorder threshold alongside it.
  • The previous day’s MAR contains 36 Given outcomes and the recorded staff author.

Recorded administration is not proof of clinical authorisation. Check consent, the agreed healthcare plan, instructions and trained-staff responsibilities through your school’s procedures. Keep stock evidence and administration history available for review without overwriting the original record.

Ask to see the complete workflow

  • Demonstrate the agreed correction or amendment process, retaining the original entry and accountable author.
  • Check the MAR for your date range and required historical records, including medicines no longer active.
  • Verify healthcare-plan review, consent, controlled-drug witness requirements and staff access for your setting.

Comparing school health software

Medical Tracker offers a dedicated school health product. Student Radar brings Health into the wider pupil-support platform. Use the same medication and care-plan tasks to assess both.

Based on each supplier’s published information, checked 5 September 2026. Product descriptions are not independent outcome evidence. Confirm current availability and your written scope with each supplier.

Pupil health information

Student Radar
Medical-needs, first-aid, medication and individual healthcare-plan workflows. The example above follows saved medication outcomes, a stock adjustment and MAR output.
Medical Tracker
Medical Tracker describes a student profile combining conditions, medication, incidents and care plans. Supplier source

Ask both suppliers: Can the medical lead and classroom staff each find the current information they are authorised to use?

Medication administration

Student Radar
The medication workspace displays schedules, consent and expiry information, with MAR and export controls. Inspect a completed round and its output in your walkthrough.
Medical Tracker
Medical Tracker documents a Medication Use panel for recording medicines administered on the school site. Supplier source

Ask both suppliers: How are a given dose, non-administration, correction and stock movement recorded and reviewed?

Healthcare plans and consent

Student Radar
The IHCP list separates active or draft plans from review dates. Confirm the exact approval, consent and family-access process for your setting.
Medical Tracker
Medical Tracker documents online parent/carer approval for healthcare plans and prescribed medication. Supplier source

Ask both suppliers: What happens after a plan changes, who approves it, and how can staff see that approval is current?

What to agree before moving your records

The implementation plan depends on your source systems and records. These are the decisions to settle together before committing to a migration date.

  1. 1

    Review the records that will move

    Agree pupil matching, current plans, medication records, consent evidence and historic first-aid information. Inspect a representative anonymised export before confirming migration feasibility or timing.

  2. 2

    Set responsibilities and access

    Agree the medical lead, administration responsibilities, trained staff and review owners. Demonstrate the information each role can read, record and correct.

  3. 3

    Reconcile and rehearse the handover

    Check imported records against their source, reconcile opening stock and review plan dates. Rehearse a round and its MAR output before agreeing the cutover and the route to retained historic records.

Connected school work

Built for the way schools actually work

Schools searching for “school medical records and care plans” usually need clarity, prioritisation, and a way to move from insight to action without adding another spreadsheet.

Operational outcomes this workflow is designed to support

  1. 01

    More consistent access to current care instructions for authorised staff

  2. 02

    Clearer follow-through after first aid, medication, or a health event

  3. 03

    Less fragmentation between conditions, plans, treatment, contacts, and review

Product intent only; these are not presented as verified customer outcome claims.

What this is designed for

Medical needs, allergies, medications, and care plans share governed pupil context

Medication rounds include due status, stock, expiry, and audit trails

First aid records connect treatment, parent communication, and follow-up

How it works in practice

01

Keep the current health picture controlled

Give authorised staff practical views of conditions, allergies, and support needs across the school, class, or pupil context.

  • Role-aware visibility
  • Conditions, allergies, and support needs
  • Current plans and review dates
02

Record care where it happens

Capture first aid, treatment, medication, parent communication, and follow-up without splitting the operational record across paper and separate tools.

  • First aid and treatment records
  • Medication administration and stock
  • Parent contact and follow-up
03

Keep plans practical and reviewable

Connect protocols, responsibilities, consent, approved outputs, and review dates so plans support day-to-day care.

  • Individual healthcare plans
  • Evacuation and intimate care routes
  • Clear audit and review history

Workflow differences worth reviewing

Use these product capability descriptions as a procurement checklist against the tools and processes you already use.

Compared with paper files and shared documents

  • Keeps the current plan and operational record connected
  • Uses role-aware access instead of broad document distribution
  • Makes review dates and unresolved follow-up visible

Compared with an isolated first-aid log

  • Connects incidents to known needs, care plans, contact, and follow-up
  • Supports medications and ongoing care as well as one-off events
  • Maintains one governed pupil context across health workflows

The practical questions

FAQs

01

Who can see medical information?

Access is role- and purpose-aware. Authorised staff can see the information needed for their responsibilities without making full medical records visible across the school.

02

Can it manage medication rounds and stock?

Yes. Medication workflows cover due administration, records of what was given, stock, expiry, controlled-drug context, allergies, and audit history.

03

Does it support individual healthcare plans?

Yes. IHCP workflows keep conditions, protocols, contacts, responsibilities, approved outputs, and review dates together.

04

Can first aid include parent communication and follow-up?

Yes. A first-aid record can connect treatment, parent communication, follow-up, and relevant on-call or investigation routes.

05

Does Student Radar replace clinical procedures?

No. It supports authorised recording, coordination, and access to current information. Clinical advice, emergency procedures, trained staff, and school policy remain authoritative.
