Doctor-at-School Local Team Local Strategy

Doctor-at-School Does everyone understand the roles they will be playing in the FIRST Trimester, i.e during screening? Has the DFS FILE to be kept at the school been discussed? Is the file ready? What day and time will it be convenient for the Doctor to come to the school? (Eg. Sat mornings, Wed 1-2pm) Which volunteers will be with the doc when he is at the school? (If no volunteer can be found, the DFS network can provide a volunteer. Anchor volunteer will figure this out.) Where will the Doctor be consulting at the school? (Private Room) Is there anything the Doctor needs? (Weighing scale, Torch, etc.) How can these be arranged? Has everyone exchanged phone numbers? Everyone should have the Anchor volunteer’s phone number. CHECKLIST FOR INAUGURAL SESSION:
