School Health Services
​
The aim of the school health service is to promote health and well-being, prevent disease and promote a healthy environment for all children. The services are offered by the municipality, are free of charge, and aim to be easy to access.
The School Health Services work both at an individual, group and systemic level, and follow a standard national program, which includes: vaccines, health information, height/weight measurements, etc.
​
The School Health Services include a public health nurse, physiotherapist, occupational therapist and a school doctor.
​
The School Health Services cooperate with other professionals within the municipality, as well as external services. We participate in interdisciplinary meetings, and cooperate with the school in agreement with the parents. We are restricted by laws of confidentiality.
​
If your child has followed any other vaccination program than the Norwegian child immunization program, please inform the school nurse about this. More information about the School Health Services can be found on the website of Trondheim Kommune.
