Why do we collect doctor’s details on TG21/22s?
Under what circumstances would this be useful information?
If a cadet was unwell on an activity, I’d be asking them about history / calling parents. Likewise for staff, I’d be asking them. (If I couldn’t ask them, it’d likely be a 999 call first anyway).
Equally, how often would a GP be able to give useful information to me if I did call? My GP’s closed during most cadet activity hours, and would they be willing to give sensitive information to a random caller (I would hope not)?
Indeed but no GP would ever release details to somebody who calls, unless consent has been gven or it is a legal obligation.
Something to consder for cadets and staff who have medical conditions but everyone really. All very well to have details on a phone but they get broken, batteries run flat etc, cards get wet or ilegible. Small goes on a key ring or you could put on a chain round the neck or kept at the bottom of a bag. Literally just plug into a pc no codes needed to get in. Has NoK details Medical conditions GPs name and anything else you want to add, including a picture.
