School Based Health Services (SBHS)
Health Clinics set up in schools supported by Nurses and General Practitioners (doctors) allowing students to access healthcare whilst at school. This includes things such as health promotion and education, injury management, sexual health needs such as contraception and sexual health check ups, mental health support, assistance with social issues. The clinics within these schools cover a variety of aspects of health care and are able to make appropriate referrals if needed.
