WORK OF THE HEALTH VISITOR/SCHOOL NURSE
The Health Visitor/School Nurse is closely concerned with promoting good health amongst school
children. This is done by carrying out routine hygiene and health surveys, and preparing for and assisting
the School Medical Officers. Particular attention is paid to maintaining as high a rate of protection against
infectious diseases as possible. Much of the routine work is delegated to clinic nurses (State Registered Nurses
but not qualified Health Visitors) to enable Health Visitors to concentrate on more skilled tasks of health
teaching or family counselling.
