Nursing

All therapy and nursing provision is based at school so we can arrange the therapy sessions as a fundamental part of the school day. Each student has an assessment which forms the basis of their individual plans for therapy.

Nurses at Langside School

Langside nurses are very aware that every child is part of a family, and to support your child we must support you and your family. To that end, a lot of the work is aimed at reducing the stress and workload for families and providing the right support and advice when and where it’s needed.

Expertise on site

All care, including the administration of medicines, is provided under the direct supervision of registered nurses. Experience registered nurses are always on-site during school hours and nursing support is provided for all visits outside the school, thus ensuring that expertise is brought to the child, rather than the child missing out on activities and experiences due to health needs. Our nurses get to know your children, and everything about them, because they are able to work alongside them each and every day.

Further development

To contribute to the further development of knowledge and care for our children with complex needs, our team also participate in local clinical practice development groups.

We also support many other schools in the area with support and training in nursing care.
