School & college health nurses
School nurses: We are qualified nurses who work in state schools across Oxfordshire. We have nurses based in all secondary schools and further education colleges, and a team who look after children in primary schools.
We provide advice on health choices such as healthy eating, sexual health and substance misuse. We offer health reviews, deliver childhood immunisations, support for teenage parents and families with complex needs, and much more. Safeguarding children and young people is at the heart of what we do, and we work with parents/carers as well as with partner agencies such as social health care services.
College nurses: We work with commissioners and further education colleges in Abingdon, Witney, Oxford City, Banbury and Henley to develop and deliver a high quality service for young adults.
Oxford College Nursing Service (OCNS): This service provides care to the students of the University of Oxford via 22 colleges. Nurses employed by Oxford Health as well as directly via the colleges work to the same high levels of clinical supervision and management, delivering excellent care to students and college members across the university.
