Medicine Policy

hi
In my setting, we have medication forms for parents to fill out. This is for both Non-prescibed medication and prescribed medication. We administer colpol etc as we have alot of babies which are teething and also children who are prone to high temperatures. So not being able to administer non-prescibed medication such as capol would have a huge impact on the service that we provide and the reliability for working parents who would have to take time of work if their child was teething etc, which is unrealtistic.

I workin a large nursery and we also have are not able to administer non-prescription drugs.

However we have two that we do administer -liquid paracetamol and teething gel.

Anything else must be prescribed. So that means we can't give thing like Tixilicks or Piriton unless the parents have visited the doctor first
