Special school nursing service

  • The aim of the special school nursing service is to work in partnership with parents, school staff and other members of the multidisciplinary team to provide a comprehensive, efficient and accessible service which will support children with complex health needs and those requiring medication during school hours.

    The special school nursing service works closely with education staff providing appropriate training and support to ensure the child’s educational potential is reached and not hampered by unmet health needs.
