Queensbury School has strong and established links with the NHS Special School Nursing team. Their expertise and advice helps guide our staff to ensure our Care Plans for students are accurate and up to date. For students with more complex health needs, the team provides our staff and families the training and advice required, so our young people with additional needs are able to access an inclusive education.
The special school nursing team is a citywide service providing nursing care and support across 27 special schools. The team comprises a mix of registered children’s nurses; learning disability nurses; complex care enteral feeding assistants and a school nurse assistant, whose roles and responsibilities are overseen by three team leaders, a clinical lead, service manager and head of service.
The team’s aim is to provide healthcare for children and young people in special schools that is personalised, with minimal disruption to the school timetable. They work closely with teachers, teaching assistants, lunchtime supervisors, social workers and transport guides to ensure that each individual pupil’s needs are met.
