Course outline:
Medical conditions, both physical and mental, are often related and form a key part of the safeguarding and pastoral care framework within our schools. However, staff CPD opportunities seldom focus on these key areas. As part of a refocus of the training available through Hieda, we can now offer a stand-alone Professional Practice Certificate for school staff on medical matters.
This course will link professional practice with current research and best practice to provide a unique opportunity for non-registered medical staff, whether working in relative isolation or as part of the medical team, to development their knowledge, skills and practice across a wide range of the key current themes/topics most relevant to their role. In addition, there will be a linked project which will provide the chance to focus on a specific aspect in more detail.
The course is tutor led and will consist of three separate live online study days spread over a full academic year. The sessions on each study day will be a mixture of presentations often with an external expert, and group discussions.

Course assignment:
The course assignment provides course students with an opportunity to focus on a specific area of particular relevance to their school/role. This can range from ‘supporting a student with a complex medical condition; a review of the medical provision in the school; the management of medical records across a whole school; health promotion models; to a student guide to accessing specific support for an emotional health issue.
The purpose is for the delegate to explore and compare their practice to guidance and whether it meets the needs of the child.
The assignment will take the form of a 2,000+/-10% word written essay which must be submitted by July 2023. These will be assessed by the course tutor and the results published/certificates issued in the early Autumn.
