Infirmary / Health RecordsNurse / Admin

Recording sick visits, managing medications, tracking student health conditions, and generating infirmary reports.

← All guides

The Infirmary module gives your school nurse a digital sick bay register — with student health profiles, visit logs, medication tracking, and reports — replacing handwritten cards and notebooks.

1. Logging a Visit

  1. Go to Operations → Infirmary → New Visit.
  2. Search for the student by name or ID.
  3. Fill in: Date/time, Complaint, Examination findings, Diagnosis, and Treatment given.
  4. Record any medications dispensed from stock.
  5. Set the visit status: Treated and Released, Referred to Hospital, or Still in Sick Bay.

2. Student Health Profiles

Each student has a Health Profile accessible from their infirmary record. Record: blood group, allergies, chronic conditions, and the emergency contact specifically for health situations. This data appears at the top of every visit for quick reference.

3. Medication Stock

Under Infirmary → Medications, maintain a stock of commonly dispensed items (paracetamol, plasters, ORS, etc.). Each time medication is dispensed during a visit, the stock decrements. A low-stock alert appears when items need reordering.

4. Infirmary Reports

  • Visit Summary — total visits by date range, class, or diagnosis category
  • Referral Report — students sent to hospital with date and reason
  • Medication Usage — what was dispensed over a period

5. Privacy

Health records are visible only to users with the Infirmary or Admin permission — not to regular teachers. Parents can see their child's visit history from the Parent Portal if the school enables it.

Quick Steps

  1. Operations → Infirmary → New Visit to log a student's sick bay visit.
  2. Record diagnosis, treatment given, and medications dispensed.
  3. Student Health Profiles store chronic conditions, allergies, and emergency contacts.
  4. The Infirmary Dashboard shows today's visits and any students currently in the sick bay.
  5. Reports filter by date range, complaint type, or class for health trend analysis.
