Let's Celebrate School Nursing - Julie Wray

Monday 12th May is National Nurses Day, a great opportunity to celebrate nursing and nurses across the UK. One example that springs to mind in relation to young people and sexual health education is the role of school health advisors (school nurses). School Nurses do an amazing job, often low profile and hidden in terms of accolades and awards. Nevertheless they are out there doing fabulous work and really contributing to the education of young people. It can be a very challenging role and sex and relationship education (SRE) in schools however delivered and undertaken can and does affect young people for life.

So we're taking this opportunity to highlight the school nurse's excellent work in SRE, and on National Nurses Day Contraception Education celebrates School Nursing.
