School nurses are qualified and registered nurses [1] or midwives [2] many of whom have chosen to gain additional experience, training and qualifications to become specialist community public health nurses (SCPHN SN). Their additional training in public health helps them to support children and young people in making healthy lifestyle choices, enabling them to reach their full potential and enjoy life. School nurses work across education and health, providing a link between school, home and the community. Their aim is improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people.
