SchoolScreener

22/04/2025

Across the UK, NHS school nurses are delivering essential health services—managing vision & hearing screenings, immunisations, safeguarding, and public health initiatives. But with growing caseloads and increasing demands, the need for efficient, digital solutions has never been greater.

That’s why SchoolScreener, developed in collaboration with NHS Trusts, is transforming school health services through automation, digital record-keeping, and secure data management.
How does SchoolScreener support NHS school nurses?

✔ Automated Screening & Referrals
From vision & hearing checks to NCMP & immunisations, SchoolScreener digitises assessments, ensuring faster, more accurate results—with built-in referral pathways to audiology, ophthalmology, and GP services.

✔ Reducing Admin, Increasing Efficiency
No more manual data entry or lost records—just a secure, cloud-based system that automates reporting, parental communication, and follow-ups.

✔ Parental Engagement Made Easy
Digital consent collection & automated email reminders help improve response rates and ensure that children get the care they need, on time.

✔ Supporting Public Health & Safeguarding
With real-time reporting and analytics, school nursing teams can identify trends, risk factors, and vulnerable children—helping to intervene early and improve long-term outcomes.

✔ Fully NHS-Compliant & Secure
🔹 NHS DSP Toolkit Compliant
🔹 DTAC Approved
🔹 Cyber Essentials Certified
🔹 Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) & GDPR-Compliant

For NHS Trusts, this means greater efficiency, improved data security, and enhanced service delivery—ensuring that school nurses can focus on frontline care, not admin work.

Better technology = better care. If you're working in school nursing, public health, or NHS Trust management, let’s talk about how SchoolScreener can support your teams.

Digitise school nursing to deliver more crucial care.

If your School Nursing Team relies on paper to:

Collect consent
Distribute health information
Deliver health questionnaires

Have you calculated the time and effort this paper-based effort takes?

Programmes such as the NCMP or School Health Questionnaires, require hundreds of hours of paperwork – preparing letters, trawling through results to triage, chasing up consent forms… one of our clients stated that the paperwork for their NCMP programme alone cost thousands in postage and labour time, prior to using the SchoolScreener software
SchoolScreener allows School Nursing Teams to introduce unparalleled efficiency.

School Aged Child health Programmes: investing to save

The importance of early intervention and preventative care cannot be understated.

Health visiting and school nursing teams play a vital role in delivering targeted public health services that enhance the health and wellbeing of all children and young people.

The number of school nurses has been steadily decreasing, driven by changes in commissioning arrangements and the pressures of a challenging financial landscape, requiring tough decision-making.

SchoolScreener allows school nursing teams to make the most of their funds, by streamlining working processes, increasing productivity, and releasing more clinical time to care.

Child health programmes: investing to save
The importance of early intervention and preventative care cannot be understated, offering potentially huge returns on investment for public funds.
There is no shortage of evidence from institutes across the globe that child health programmes are one of the most effective uses of money from a public health point of view.
And yet, services that target these areas, such as school nursing, are seeing disinvestment year on year - leaving more children without crucial care, and increasing the resource burden on the NHS as conditions are left untreated at stages where they might be more manageable.
SchoolScreener allows school nursing teams to make the most of their funds, by streamlining working processes, and releasing clinical time to care. Less time on filling forms means more time to deliver life-changing interventions!
