National initiatives have an emphasis on prevention and early intervention at school and using Medical Tracker, you can track each visit to help identify at-risk students.

Once complete press 'Save' - the record will now be associated with the student's profile and will appear in the 'Incidents' module.
Top tip: If the record should not be viewed by all staff then tick the 'Confidential' box. This will hide it from all staff members who do not have the user permission to view confidential records.
If there are any actions taken after the recording of the incident, it can be recorded within the 'Follow-up' section of the saved record:
