Public Health Nurses

Public Health Nurses (PHNs) are registered nurses who work with children aged 4 – 18, and their whānau, in school, home and community environments. They visit schools regularly,  liaise between home and school, and work in partnership with families to improve and promote the health of children and young people.

PHNs are available to discuss concerns about children’s health, growth and development including skin and ear infections, sore throats and rheumatic fever, asthma and eczema, behavioral difficulties, bedwetting and soiling, hearing and vision concerns, and nutrition and diet. PHNs also have training and expertise in adolescent health issues.

Public Health Nurses offer school based immunisation programmes, including Boostrix (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis) boosters in year 7, and HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine to year 8 students.
