School Health Nurse

Information on Work of Secondary School Health Nurses

Secondary schools within Oxfordshire have a named NHS School Health Nurse who is based for at least one day a week in the school. The aim of the School Health Nurse is to offer evidence-based preventative health care for children and young people. We strive to improve young people’s health and wellbeing and their life chances. We work closely with teaching and student support staff to encourage young people to be both physically and emotionally healthy in order to make informed healthy lifestyle choices and reach their full potential.

Confidentiality

The School Health Nursing service is confidential. This means we can discuss personal information with young people in confidence and will not discuss it with anyone else without their permission. However, we would pass on any information that we feel is needed to protect a young person or someone else from serious harm. Whenever possible, this would be discussed with the young person first.
