HEALTH AND WELL-BEING

Each referral is triaged to establish need and then allocated to the most appropriate member of the team. Support is offered during either a telephone consultation, an appointment at a health and well-being clinic or in school.

 

There are a wide range of services that school nurses can offer, including:

• Continence– night time/ bed wetting. This effects many children and the school nurse service offers support and management plans according to individual need which is assessed and reviewed regularly.
• Healthy eating– The school nurse service delivers the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) and offers an individual package of care to children and young people who require advice and support  in weight management .
