School Nursing is part of the Sheffield Children’s 0-19 Service through which we support children and their families at home and at school from birth to 19 years old. Our school nurses offer advice and support to children and young people aged 4-19 and their families regarding health needs and public health issues. We take over the care of children from the Health Visiting Team when they reach school age and continue with the Healthy Child Program which begins at birth. We see children in school to offer routine health screening and assessment. All parents/carers are offered an opportunity to consent to screening of height, weight, hearing and vision. When consent is obtained all screening will take place in school and the vision check will be carried out by an orthoptist from Sheffield Children’s Hospital. The School Nursing Service continues into secondary schools where it provides a range of services for teenagers. We use a mixture of displays, workshops and confidential nurse led clinics to meet the health needs of young people in secondary school and further education. This includes advice and signposting for: The map shows the locations and contact details of our Health Visiting (yellow) and School Nursing (red) teams across Sheffield.
