School Nursing Service

Hertfordshire School Nursing Service

The Hertfordshire School Nursing service is part of the Hertfordshire Family Centre service. The service brings children’s centres, health visiting and school nursing together to provide a more joined up service for children, young people and their families from pregnancy through to when a child reaches 19. There is a range of different support groups, activities and services on offer for children and their families to help them be healthy, grow and develop. Families can access available services from any Hertfordshire Family Centre, allowing them to fit sessions and services around busy family lives. 

If you have concerns about your child’s emotional or physical health and wellbeing, they can help. 

The Hertfordshire School Nurse Service comprises of:

• School nurses: are specialist community public health nurses who are highly qualified nurses with an additional degree in public health, which specifically relates to the health needs of the school aged population.
• Community nurses: are registered nurses with a variety of experiences from different complimentary areas to school nursing.
• School nurse assistants: have experience and specific training to work with children and young people.
•  

The school nursing teams works closely with education, social care and other health professionals, to help children and young people to remain healthy and to ensure that any health needs are met.
