School entry screening by the school nurse

P Bolton. Health Visit. 1994 Apr.

Abstract

To replace the conventional school medical, a new system of screening school entrants by the school nurse was introduced in the Canterbury and Thanet health district, writes Pauline Bolton. The system has been shown to be satisfactory for the children and their parents, to increase the school nurse's job satisfaction and to free up clinical medical officer time for tasks requiring specifically medical skills. It is also more cost-effective.
