Nurses in all UK schools ‘would help child mental health toll’
Royal College of Nursing makes call among raft of ideas to ‘redefine medicine’

The move would let schools play a much bigger role in meeting pupils’ physical and mental health needs and aid their recovery from the impact of Covid, said Dame Donna Kinnair.
