Health advice
The school nursing team can offer advice to children and young people, their families and school staff on a wide range of physical, emotional and sexual health topics. We can also signpost you to other services that may help.
The school nurse team may offer a health assessment to children and young people if there are concerns about their health and well-being.
Health care plans
Schools are required to keep health care plans for all pupils with medical needs. The School Nursing team can support the schools in developing these for children and young people with complex needs and/or emergency medication in school, offering centralised training to school staff on common medical conditions.
