Award winning group

Congratulations to our pupil support nursing team who won the prestigious 'Health and Wellbeing' prize at the Children's Health Scotland Awards on Saturday.

The team were recognised for their work with children and families in schools for children with complex additional support needs, during a ceremony at the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh.

Nurse manager for the children and young person's nursing service, Joanne Bruce, said: "Lisa Fisher and her team were nominated to highlight the fabulous work that they do. The team know the children and young people so well and treat them as if they are one of their own.

"Parents and families are filled with confidence knowing that their son or daughter is left in good hands whilst they are at school and this is all thanks to the care and support provided by the pupil support nurses. They not only help the families but provide teaching and support to education staff which in turn leads to the children and young people having a happy and fulfilling experience when in school".
