DS recently diagnosed with a metabolic bone condition and treatment is an injection every 14 days. Had first ones in hospital but going forwards will be homecare nursing team, same nurse same time/day but only appointments are during school hours. So they come to the school in term time and home address in holidays to give the injection.
Just wondering if anyone has experience of this? Is school likely to agree? Speaking to the nurse this is what they generally do, so I’m guessing schools are fine about it. I was hoping it would be after school at home (which is what consultant said) but apparently working hours finish at 4pm for most home care nurses.
I’ve emailed school to find out but no reply yet, DS has had lots of appointments/ surgery this year and school and Headteacher especially been good asking if they can do anything so I can’t see that they’d say no. Alternative is id have to drive to collect him from school for injection at home and drop him back. He’s secondary school age and it’s a 20-30min drive each way, so he’d miss an hour of school every two weeks for an injection that takes a few minutes.
