As we close out another year we wanted to say thank you for all that you do, have a merry and safe holiday season.
The graph above shows the achievement to target that's occurred over the past six months. It’s great to finish 2020 on a high thanks to the hard work of our B4 School Check nurses. Your efforts have helped ensure children are receiving their B4SCs on time and this couldn't happen without you all, it’s a real team effort.
Please keep us updated if the Champion in your practice changes. This will make sure communication and monthly reports are going to the right person.
We have recently had feedback that some exception reports are arriving late. We’ve found this was due to an electronic glitch after we sent them and we're working on a resolution. Please let us know if your reports do not arrive and we’ll make sure you get a replacement.
Dates have been set for our 2021 two-day B4SC trainings. These will be held on 4-5 March and 3-4 June. More dates will be confirmed in the new year.
