Health Team - Doctor/School Nurse/Dentst

 The School Health Team includes the school nurse and doctor, working in close liaison with teachers and other health professionals.  The school nurse sees all children routinely for growth and vision checks.  Both the nurse and doctor are regularly available for consultation and are always happy to discuss any concerns a parent might have about their child’s health and its effect on education or social life.
The programme of health care available in school includes the following:
·
Health check by the school nurse and hearing tests during the first year at school.  Medical consultation if required
·
Vision tests in Primary 1, 4 and 6
·
Colour vision checked in Primary 6
·
Other reviews, examinations and appointments as necessary and as arranged with parents.

 Children are not medically examined without the consent of their parent or guardian whom we prefer to be present especially for younger children.  All medical information is confidential and will only be shared with the school and/or other agencies with your agreement.
The school may also call on the services of a speech therapist and a health visitor when this is necessary.
Services are constantly reviewed and may change during your child’s time at school.
Dental Health: The Community Dental Service provides checks for children P1-7 and annual visits to most Primary and Special Schools.
Health Information
It is very important that the school is kept informed of any health problem, which may affect your child’s performance or happiness in school.  This may be discussed in confidence with a member of the promoted staff, if you so wish.
Please ensure that necessary immunisations take place, especially those required before entry to school at Primary 1 stage.   Booster injections e.g. polio and tetanus should also be kept up to date.  If you need any advice on these
