The Handbook of School Health, published by Britain’s Medical Officers of Schools Association, provides up-to-date, authoritative, practical and readily accessible guidance on all aspects of the health and medical care of schoolchildren.
This new and thoroughly revised edition contains for the first time a chapter on school nursing. There is up-to-date information on:
* Hygiene
* Immunization and vaccination
* Communicable diseases, including HIV infections
* Medical examinations
* Dental care
* Psychological difficulties (including eating disorders)
* Child abuse
* Substance misuse
* Safety at school
* Sports medicine
* Adventure training
Useful appendices include specimen contracts for doctors and nurses, eye care in sport, and the care and maintenance of swimming pools. School superintendents, county and state administrators will find much of value in the authoritative guidelines developed in the U.K.
