The school leaver medical: an evaluation
Public Health.
1993 Mar.
Abstract
The school records of 492 pupils attending routine school leaver medicals were examined retrospectively. Excluding known problems and problems detected by school nurse screening, only 11 new problems were detected which needed treatment (although a further 18 pupils were investigated to exclude potentially serious problems). Selective examination of school leavers by a school doctor with routine screening by a school nurse would appear to be a more efficient use of time than routine medicals.
