Why Schools Trust Us

It’s time for pens and paper, lost permission slips, overflowing medicine cabinets and stressed staff to be a thing of the past. We’re talking about health and safety management.

Over the last ten years, there have been many technological breakthroughs in content and learning, virtual reality, assessment technology, and more. Adding to their list of advances, over 2,750+ schools have chosen Medical Tracker – the health and safety platform.

Health and safety in schools is all-encompassing: from logging incidents and accidents in the playground or playing fields, to ensuring your colleagues and students are appropriately cared for in an environment that allows them to thrive.

Yet, many schools still use pens, paper accident books, excel spreadsheets and laborious filing systems to keep up with their day-to-day health and safety.

It doesn’t have to be like this. With Medical Tracker, schools can:

✅ Efficiently record and monitor medical incidents such as trips, falls, bumps, scrapes + many more.

✅ Track medication schedules, generate reports outlining expiration dates and stock levels, and complete audit trials.

✅ Quickly input and retrieve information on any student or staff member in case of an emergency or for school trips and outings.

✅ Drastically reduce the risk of errors and ensure students and staff receive the care they need without stressing how and where you store the information.
