When your child transitions into secondary school this may be the first opportunity they have had to meet members of their School Nursing teams. Our teams will endeavour to attend the new starter parent meetings to introduce the team and explain what is available for your child.
We will attend assemblies and / or tutorials to talk to new starters about our service. We also let young people know how they can access their School Nurse.
All School Nurse teams will offer a drop in service. Frequency will depend on the needs of the local area. The drop ins are available for young people to access health information, advice and support. Young people may see the School Nurse once or have an on-going plan of care.
When a young person is in Years 9 and 10 your School Nurse team will also offer an optional routine health review. The health review offer helps to:
- identify any unmet health need
- support a young person to access appropriate services
- help them to achieve their full health potential
