Prepare the documented evidence accreditation assessors expect on school health programmes.
Managing School Health and Student Prevention Programmes
Develop the judgement and the documentation needed to run school health programmes properly.
Course Overview
Variation in school health programmes between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. In healthcare, a weakness in this area of health and pharmaceutical services is eventually paid for by a patient. It concentrates on the parts of this strand of health and pharmaceutical services that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of school health programmes rather than to abstract argument. Where the practice within health and pharmaceutical services is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for the health and pharmaceutical services capability. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what school health programmes has actually achieved. The difficulty is not agreeing that this part of health and pharmaceutical services matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this area of health and pharmaceutical services survives a hostile question.
