SCHOOL MEDICAL SERVICE The School Nurse is Ms Sarah Jacob who is a First level registered Nurse and is located in the Medical Room between the hours of 8.30 and 4.30 Monday to Friday.
The Medical Room
is available to any student who is feeling unwell. There are facilities available to rest and to receive general nursing care. Occasionally, it may be necessary for a student to be sent home or to receive appropriate medical care elsewhere.
CONFIDENTIAL SUPPORT AND ADVICE
Students who may have certain health or emotional issues are welcome to discuss these with the School Nurse in total confidentiality. Occasionally, it may be necessary to involve other healthcare professionals or support from within the school but this will only be done with the student's permission. The medical room is also a good resource area for any students wishing to find out more information on Health Education, First Aid, illnesses etc.
There is also a School Doctor who will see students on an appointment basis. Students are referred to her by the School Nurse, Teachers or Parents. If boys have any health queries they can email the school nurse in total confidence if they do not want to visit the medical room: jacob.s@nottinghamhigh.co.uk
