School Nursing Service
Enfield’s School Nursing Service is provided by North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust. For further information, including contact details, visit NHS Royal Free London.
The school nursing team works with children and young people to improve their health and wellbeing. School nurses can advise or signpost to information and help on many health matters, including bullying, obesity and nutrition, drugs, and sex and relationships.
They also offer support to school staff to help every child attend school regularly, and reach their full potential.
Their aim is to ensure children and young people get the best possible start in life, by monitoring their health and promoting good habits from an early age, including vaccinations.
School nurses work with families and children and young people from when they start school at age 4 or 5, up to 19 years of age.
