The school nursing service is not an emergency service. If you or a friend need immediate nursing or medical help, please contact a member of staff on site who will locate a member of staff trained in first aid. If you are off site in the case of an emergency, please call 999 or visit your GP in the usual way.
Confidentiality: The School Nursing service is confidential. This means you can discuss personal information with us and we will not discuss it with anyone else without your permission, unless we feel that you or another may be at risk of harm. If information needs to be shared we will always try to discuss this with you first so that you know why, and what will happen.
School Holidays: If you need to contact the school nursing team during the school holidays, you can call: 01865 903800
If you are in need of emergency contraception outside of the school nurses working hours, please attend your GP practice, local sexual health clinic or local pharmacy as soon as you can- visit www.oxme.info for further details.
