Healthcare for schoolchildren is part of general healthcare and a continuation of infant and toddler care. The goal is to improve students' health and well-being. School healthcare staff work closely with parents, school administrators, teachers and others involved in student affairs, focusing on their welfare. All information is treated confidentially. School healthcare services are recorded in the primary healthcare's electronic medical records.
Key components of student health services include prevention, health education, screening and vaccinations. The program operates under guidelines from the Development Center of Icelandic Primary Care for health services in primary schools.

Practical information
Illness and accidents
School staff provide first aid for accidents or injuries during school hours. If a student needs to go to primary care or the emergency room, guardians must accompany the child. It's crucial that the school has all contact numbers to reach parents during school hours. School health services do not handle accidents that occur outside school hours.
Chronically ill children
The school nurse must be informed about children with disabilities or chronic and/or serious illnesses, such as diabetes, allergies, epilepsy, bleeding disorders, or other serious conditions. The school nurse works with parents, guardians and school staff to ensure a supportive environment and provide proper care for these children at school.
Medication administration – The Director of Health's guidelines for primary schools include specific procedures for giving medication to students during school hours. Guardians of children who need medication during school hours should contact the school nurse.
