WHY HAVE A SCHOOL NURSE?<br />
Good health has a positive impact on a child or young person's<br />
enjoyment both at school and home. Ill health can often be a barrier<br />
to learning and School Nurses can act as an effective bridge between<br />
education, health services and social care, supporting work on health<br />
issues in school and making health services more accessible to pupils,<br />
parents, carers and school staff. Working together we can contribute<br />
to the outcomes for children and young people and support them to:<br />
� Be healthy<br />
� <strong>St</strong>ay safe<br />
� Enjoy and achieve<br />
� Make a positive contribution<br />
� Achieve economic well-being<br />
School nurses also work in partnership with the schools developing<br />
Healthy School <strong>St</strong>atus and Extended School Services.<br />
<strong>The</strong> School Nursing service includes drop-ins and access to basic<br />
sexual health services for parents, staff and pupils at both the Darwell<br />
and Edinburgh Campus. Smoking cessation is also offered to staff,<br />
pupils and parents. If any parents are interested then please contact<br />
