For about the past 17 years, we have used sets of small lockers that are in the health center, available to staff to keep their meds locked up for the summer. They get a key and lock ( we keep the extra key) for the summer and are responsible for keeping all medications in the locker. This way, the meds are locked up, we do not have meds in bunks or being toted around camp all summer. Staff have access to their locker 24/7. It has worked great. We have had to purchase more lockers over the years, so many staff have medications, but it is much better than the health center staff being responsible for the staff meds. We had a situation in the early 2000’s where a staff member accused us of losing or taking their controlled medication that was being kept in a bag in our locked medication room. It was also a hassle to stop what we were doing to retrieve their bags of medication.
We recently were able to move the lockers to their own locker room in a different part of the health center, to minimize the traffic in our main health center space.
