Summary:
Guidelines on ‘supporting the administration of insulin in schools’ were produced together by diabetes paediatric staff, school nurses and the LA and sent to all schools in Nottinghamshire and Nottingham City. To support the implementation of this, local experts offer training and awareness sessions for school staff in order to support schools in complying with the guidelines issued by the LA.
