The Public Health School Nursing Service works together with children, young people and their parents/carers to provide a comprehensive efficient and accessible service.  We offer health assessment at transition points throughout a child’s life.

We are a registered charity set up in 1990 in Newcastle upon Tyne, at a time when the North East had the worst levels of child health in the country (Government report Health of the Nation 1990).

Provides dental care for pre-school children, school children, those with special needs, learning disabilities, medical problems or severe anxiety and any other clients who are unable to find a dentist.  

Clinics are available at Arthur's Hill Clinic (check website), Kenton Health Centre, Molineux Street NHS Centre and Walker Centre. You can contact the service directly.

The community dental department provides a full range of dental treatment for patients who are residents of Newcastle and who fit one or more of the following criteria:

The Fracture Clinic is based in the New Victoria Wing at the Royal Victoria Infirmary and provides an outpatient service for both children and adults, usually following a bone fracture.

You can be referred to this clinic by your GP, or you may be sent here following a visit to either the Emergency Department, Walk in Centre or Minor Injury Unit. 

Nurse Practitioners run special clinics to review patients with fractures, in particular those who have fractured a hip.

Our dermatology experts in Newcastle help to diagnose and treat hundreds of patients every year and care for both adults and children.

They run a number of general and specialist dermatology clinics and deal with a wide range of conditions and diseases affecting the skin, mucous membranes, hair and nails.

Some of our specialists also perform dermatological surgical procedures such as Mohs micrographic surgery (a type of surgery for removing certain types of skin cancer), laser surgery and some cosmetic surgery.

Antenatal refers to the period of time from when you get pregnant up to the point you go into labour. Regular antenatal appointments help us to ensure that you and your baby are healthy. It will also help us to recognise when input from our specialist antenatal services might be necessary.
