Middlesbrough School Nursing
5-19 Healthy Child Service
All children and young people aged 5-19 and their families have access to the School Nursing team consisting of School Nurses, Staff Nurses, Early Years Practitioners and School Nurse Assistants. They work in partnership with children, young people and families to empower and enable them to make informed decisions about health, and to support them in transitioning safely and happily into adult life.
The team works in community settings to deliver universal and targeted interventions designed to meet public health outcomes. We ensure the emotional and physical health and wellbeing of families, children and young people across Middlesbrough.
The team encourages and supports parents and carers to develop life-long skills to enable them to make informed choices that affect their family’s future health and wellbeing.
The service works in partnership with other agencies to ensure all families receive support.
