SCHOOL CLINIC AT BSAK

The School Clinic is staffed by a team of HAAD registered School Nurses and professional administrators. The main role of the Nurses is to provide first aid and/or emergency care to all students and to ensure the safety of children at all times.

When To Keep Your Child At Home

BSAK has a clear policy for when children are unwell which is guided by the Department of Health Abu Dhabi and UK regulations. Please see the Nursing Handbook for more information on illnesses that require you to keep your children at home. The nursing team will contact parents when a student is unwell during the school day and needs to go home. Students should not be using their mobile phones to call their parents during the school day. Please ensure your contact details are correct on the parent portal as these are the numbers used in an emergency.

Collecting Your Child From The School Clinic

If you receive a call about your child who needs to either go home or be seen by a Doctor, we request that you collect your child as promptly as possible. We suggest that within 1 hour is an acceptable time frame, however, we appreciate that this may not always be possible. If parents are unable to collect their child, they should notify the Nurse of the details of another person who is able to collect them.

Healthy Eating And Food Policy

BSAK promotes Healthy Eating and we are a NUT FREE school. Please see the Nursing handbook for more information on foods not allowed in school.

Medical Information For School Trips

At the start of each academic year you will be required to complete a health declaration form. It is an ADEK requirement that we receive updated medical information for every student, without this updated your child will not be able to go on any school trips or play for the school’s teams and attend off site events.
