Your School Nurse:

​

The school nurse is there to help you. The school nurse is the first person you may wish to speak to for confidential advice and information about your health. The work school nurses do is expanding and they now have two main roles:

• To give you confidential advice, care and treatment

• To look after and protect your physical and emotional health

 

You can visit the school nurse for lots of different reasons.
