Lead nurse for vulnerable young people in school nursing, passionate about school nursing passionate about our future all comments and views are my own
One of many take aways from @felly500 key note speech - to never underestimate the power of your voice as a school nurse as an advocate for children and young people @SAPHNAsharonOBE #SAPHNAconf23
Love the idea our LAs having good specialist services in place to need individual needs giving us the opportunity to truly deliver community public health initiatives like SNAP #SAPHNAconf23
Quick question to all are your SN services in specialist provisions provided alongside mainstream services or is it commissioned separately? #SAPHNAconf23
@Rachel_deSouza#SAPHNAconf23 school nurse’s central to her vision and every child should have access to the service 👏 will need investment to ensure this happens nationally🤞@SAPHNAteam
The Big Ask has been an amazing piece of work that we have been able to use to support and develop what we do and how we do it. SNs have the drive and ability to listen to the needs of CYP and respond but there needs to be more of us!#SAPHNAconf23
Investment in training place is great should there be a stronger approach to the how LA are guided to spend public health monies in commissioning or not commissioning SNing service #SAPHNAconf23 @jamewaterfall
'Unless we are making progress in our nursing every year every month every week take my word for it we are going back' such an true statement love this #SAPHNAconf23
loving @JamieWaterall focus on data supporting links between deprivation and poverty / wealth. Data has to be the foundation of how we move SNs forward #SAPHNAconf23
Proud to say that this year we will be starting something that I have dreamed of doing for years. I said 5 years ago that education was key in protecting kids. I walked away from the hunting and swore to put that same energy in to Lads Like Us pushing the message of the power of one.
Over the start of this year, we have been working within high schools around peer mentorship and knife crime funded by the police and crime commissioner. The results of this have been outstanding and we are due to release some media around this in the coming weeks.
This is just the beginning and all I'm going to say but guess what.......... EDUCATION IS PREVENTION 🫡🫡🫡🫡
If your a school and or trust and want more info, send your enquiries to [email protected] and we will be in touch.
More to come very soon.
Much love for the continued support.
Mike 🙏
