Nurses should be approachable and knowledgeable. Their support is often sought when a child or staff member is unwell. Creating a medical team that works well together will lead to a happier, more approachable Health Centre that is an advocate for the wider school community. 

This 1/2 day seminar will consolidate and develop leadership skills in Nurses who oversee a small or large team working within a school environment. The day will present skills that could improve the cohesion and working styles of the medical team, and between the medical team and the wider school community. Delegates will be encouraged to share their ideas and experiences to improve performance and job satisfaction.

• Effective teams – what is a team, and what makes one effective?
• Raising the profile of the Health Centre – ideas to raise the profile of the Health Centre and continue meeting the needs of the school
• Appraisals and inductions – an in-depth view of the support available to staff members

• Guidance and standards of care.
