Every school has an allocated NHS school nurse. If you would like to talk with a school nurse, please see our contact details. We are unable to respond to personal emails, however if you leave contact numbers the appropriate school nurse will contact you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alternatively, you can discuss with school, and ask the school nurse to contact you. School can make a Request For Service which will be sent to the relevant team. School nurses can support, inform and provide guidance to parents on an individual basis, at home, in school or by telephone, and can also offer group support to parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The service works closely with families, parents and carers, for all children. For children over the age of 13 years, we offer 1-1 support or group work in school with health or wellbeing needs. This is a confidential service. Please see confidentiality statement on first page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can support with many different aspects of health, including physical and mental health, moving from nursery to primary school, moving to high school, development, behaviour, sleep and diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
