For most of my teaching career I have specialised in the training
of Paediatric Emergency Care to Childcare professionals. During this time I have become aware of how important it is that
Childcare Practitioners understand the medical conditions of the children they care for.
I am asked on a regular basis to provide a consultancy service
for Pre Schools, Nurseries and Childminding Settings. This service involves the following.
- Developing a Care Plan
- Developing a Emergency Action Plan
- Training in the administration of the Medications
required
- Training in Emergency Treatments
- General advice on the care of the Child
The session involves an informal discussion with the Childcare
team and the parents. These sessions have proved very popular and are available at any time.
