medication and forms

Hi,

we are in the process of changing our medication consent forms after being advised that we have too many! and are been over cautious.

We have a consent form that details name, dosage and signatures for weekly monthly and daily  medicine and seperate log that parents sign when they have collected child to say medicine has been administered.

We are looking at having one form per child that all prescribed and non prescribed (eg creams for nappy rash) medicine would be recorded; this will have date, name of child, dosage, etc staff and witness staff will record and signwhen administered and parents upon collection. however wanted to check if ur parents sign consent every am and then at end of every day?

Any response much appreciated!

we have a form that the parents fill out the form in the morning and staff will sign and witness when medicine is administered.

The staff will also write what time/ dosage on the childs daily report which is given to the parents at the end of each day, so the parents know the exact time the medicine was given.

hope this helps
