Essentials for new school nurses 

Date: October 06, 2017

Why you should attend? The boarding environment is a very unique and specialised one that requires a great deal of adaption from other nursing and medical situations. This seminar will cover all legal context and Duty of Care, inspection requirements, roles and boundaries and health profiles. It will focus on the key aspects of the nurse’s role in boarding school. All medical staff new to the boarding environment would benefit from this course which will give delegates an insight in adapting their skills to the boarding school situation. The speaker has a wealth of experience in this area and will be able to ease your transition and initial induction away from your current experience into a boarding setting.
