Medicines in Schools and Nurseries

New Road Surgery are following the Worcestershire Clinical Commissioning Groups self-care policy for minor health problems, which says that patients should access advice and purchase homely remedies as and when they and their family need, rather than being prescribed by their GP or other clinicians.

Non-prescription medicines (over the counter medicines) do not require any written consent from a GP or other healthcare professional to allow school and nursery staff to administer them

Please see the below document for advice for parents, nurseries and schools regarding administration of medications.
