The benefits of using our school nursing service are seen throughout the education setting as it:
The benefits can be seen on an individual, group and whole school level.
There is some evidence of the impact of school nursing which has shown positive outcomes, particularly in the field of the impact of nurses on pupils' mental health where there were largely positive results of increased pupil engagement, increased engagement in the development of services, behaviour change, attendance and overall wellbeing.

Referring to our school nursing services is swift and simple. To refer you can email us on office@ehp.org.uk or phone us on 0330 088 8408.
Our services can be funded through a variety of ways.
Some areas which are classed as a ‘deprived’ area may have extra areas of funding available for health services within education.
Our school nursing service brings many long-term benefits to children, young people and education settings through their input. Improving physical and mental health in addition to raising awareness of needs raises attendance and attainment.
Our specialist multidisciplinary services can be commissioned through a service level agreement and as standalone input.
While local authorities are required by regulations to commission certain public health services, school nursing is not one of these. Local authorities have generally continued to commission school nursing services in line with previous provision and school nurses themselves continue to be employed by NHS provider trusts. Schools can also independently commission services, or jointly fund provision in partnership with local authorities and in some areas of the country, local authorities have already started to do this.
