Surveillance and Health Promotion course
This session explores the transition from early years to school entry at Reception. It will focus on the universal health assessment and health promotion components that are available to all primary school children as part of the Healthy School Child (HSC) programme 5-12 years. Note that the term HCP is used in this session to refer to the Healthy Child Programme and should not be confused with other terms such as 'Healthcare Professional' and “Health Care Plan' also known as HCP.
