School nurses are registered nurses who specialise in public and child health. The team of school nurses, community staff nurses and clinical support workers work closely with children and young people, parents, carers and teachers, promoting health and wellbeing in accordance with our Healthy Child Programme (5-19 years).

Referrals

Once a child reaches school age, their health records are transferred from the health visitor to the school nurse. Your child/young person school health record will move with them through their school life and where necessary into adult services. This will ensure that any ongoing health issues can continue to be monitored and supported effectively as a child moves into school.
