Specialist school nursing: priority areas and pathways
The refocused School Nursing role will concentrate primarily on ten priority areas under the overall headings of vulnerable children and families, mental health and wellbeing, and risk-taking behaviour.
Specialist School Nursing Contribution – Priority Areas And Pathways
Evaluations of two early adopter sites for the refocused school nursing role found that the mental health pathway provided an overarching focus for the school nursing service, with the remaining nine pathways clearly impacting on children and young people’s emotional health and wellbeing. The ten existing priority areas were therefore reconfigured to sit under an overarching heading of ‘Vulnerable Children and Families’, indicating the two main sources of referral and intervention (mental health and wellbeing, and risk-taking behaviour).
