Health visiting service and school nurses

Our health visitors and school nurses are all registered nurses who have been specially trained in child health.

Group of happy children
School nurses are the key health workers in our schools and are well placed to help identify early problems that may affect the health and development of school children or prevent them from reaching their full potential.
Parents, children and education staff can discuss any concerns with their school nurse.
Through a mixture of home visiting, clinics based in local communities and schools, group work and telephone support, our aim is to deliver the best possible healthcare for children in our community and allow everyone to access the services in a way which suits them.

Based in six localities, our teams of health visitors and school nurses are supported by community staff nurses, nursery nurses and administrators. By developing a multi-agency approach with multi-skilled staff we hope to help families to lead as healthy a life as possible.
