School Nursing

The school nursing service in Calderdale, provided by Locala Community Partnerships from 1st April 2015, focus on:

The service responds to local need, and work with other professionals and support schools to manage the wellbeing of pupils by:

• Delivering universal health services, improving the lives of all, with proportionally greater resources targeted at the most disadvantaged pupils
• Proactive identification of health needs, individual health assessments and appropriate follow up activity
• Support for pupils with long term and/or short medical conditions and vulnerable groups
