School Nurse
The school nursing service forms part of your child’s school health team. We are an experienced, professional and qualified team who here to help you and your child.
The School Nurse will see your child in a school or health setting.
School Nurses have three main roles:
- To give confidential advice and care to young people and parents or carers
- Support parents/young people to look after your physical and emotional health, and to make sure other people know what you need to be healthy
- To make sure children and young people with health issues receive the right NHS care and specialist services.
The School Nurse is the first person you may wish to speak to for confidential advice and information about your child’s health. Click on the School Nurse leaflet below for more information.
