Who is the School Nurse?

The ‘Drop-In’ school nurse works for HCRG Care Group in the community within a team and is based at Salisbury.  She is able to see any student at school on their own or, if preferred, students may attend with a parent or a friend.  All consultations with the school nurse will be confidential unless they feel that you or anyone else is at risk; she will then refer to another adult after discussion with you.

Where and when can I find her?

The nurse runs a “Drop-In” every Tuesday lunchtime in O53 (FLS) from 12:25-13:25.
Sometimes the day has to change and you will be advised about this – look out for any changes in the weekly bulletin and on the electronic plasma screen in Reception!
