Medical Conditions Awareness Training – Subsidised offer arrangements from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018
You should have all received a letter via email from Kate Sahota in February outlining the subsidised offer arrangements for medical conditions awareness training. Following feedback from some schools, we understand it would be beneficial to have an enhanced offer for those schools that would prefer to have on-site training.
We have worked with the School Health & Wellbeing Service to negotiate a reduced rate for school-based training based on a minimum number of courses being taken up and are pleased to be able to offer the following two courses:
- Asthma and the administration of pre-prepared adrenaline in response to anaphylaxis (one hour)
- Administration of emergency medication for epilepsy (one hour)
The courses will cost £60 each and should be arranged directly with the service. Schools can choose whether to take one or both of the courses and must raise a purchase order with Compass (the provider of the School Health & Wellbeing Service) specifying which course(s) they wish to receive. Schools will be responsible for the local organisation and administration of the courses (e.g. room booking, inviting staff, and recording attendance).
For more information please contact the School Health & Wellbeing Service on

ChatHealth - new school nurse messaging service
Warwickshire School Health & Wellbeing Service and Warwickshire Young People’s Substance Misuse Service have introduced a new way for young people to get advice and support about health related issues via a new nurse messaging service.
ChatHealth is an award-winning school nurse messaging service for young people aged 11-19 years, available Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
This service has been highly acclaimed by the Department of Health which encourages the use of mobile and social media to improve access to healthcare – particularly for young people. ChatHealth has been awarded an Innovation Challenge Prize from NHS England and multiple other awards for innovative use of communication in healthcare and improving patient experiences.
The aim is to further improve access to healthcare for young people and to continue improving the quality and safety of the services. Young people have helped develop the promotional material which we are using to advertise the service in schools. The number to text is 07507 331 525.
Read our information leaflet to find out more about the service, outcomes, information on safety and frequently asked questions.
