School Nurse

Our main objective is the happiness and welfare of the children. We like to get to know our pupils and their families well so we are able to discuss and manage problems as they arise.

Between us we have gained many years experience in helping children with complex medical needs and physical disability.

We keep up to date with professional development and changes in guidance and legislation for the delivery of nursing care to children with additional needs. Safeguarding and health promotion are at the forefront of our care.

We endeavour to support the attendance of our pupils by providing advice and information to families and ongoing assistance to staff.
