We were shocked when this feedback reached Rose, our Customer Support Manager.

Louise Moor, Headteacher at Little Common Primary School, shared how Medical Tracker played a crucial role in identifying a severe health condition that might have otherwise gone unnoticed.

An eyesight test revealed a serious condition requiring immediate surgery. The hospital confirming that, in most cases, this kind of condition is not picked up until a child has gone blind – irreversibly.

In her own words, hear Louise explain the chain of events:

Thankfully, we are happy to report that the child is back in school.

When tracking student and staff healthcare, time is precious, accuracy is vital, and communication is crucial. The right tool can empower schools to take action when it matters most.

That’s exactly what happened at Little Common Primary School – a young girl’s repeated trips and falls turned out to be a warning sign of something far more serious.

Thanks to the small details captured by Medical Tracker, this led to a life-changing intervention for their student.
