Common struggles

  • Remembering exact medication times can be difficult during a busy day.
  • Parents and carers may need to know whether a dose was given, missed, refused or late.
  • Medication notes are often needed later for appointments or school conversations.
  • Regular medication should be easy to select without retyping the same details every time.

How FamilyTrack helps

  • ✓Save regular medication in a child care profile and use it as a quick shortcut when logging.
  • ✓Record dose, unit, time, notes and medication status.
  • ✓Keep ad-hoc medication logging available for occasional medication.
  • ✓Include medication history in care reports and Care Snapshot summaries.

Regular medication shortcuts

Set up common medication once in a child profile, then tap it to prefill the log form while keeping everything editable before saving.

Clear medication history

Medication logs can show what was given, when it was given, dose details and any useful note.

Useful for shared care

When more than one parent or carer is involved, medication logs help everyone see what has already been recorded.
