When a student collapses on the playground or shows sudden symptoms in class, the first few minutes of the school clinic's response often decide whether the situation stays manageable or turns into a crisis. That reality is the starting point for this Arab British Fellowship Training Academy course, which equips school clinic teams with the operational and clinical skills a modern school health service actually needs day to day.

Participants work through the full cycle of running a school clinic: keeping accurate and confidential student health files, responding to medical emergencies and everyday injuries, and building health-awareness activities that reach students, teachers, and parents alike. They leave with a practical toolkit for daily clinic operations, regulatory compliance, and preventive health programming across the school community.
