In Lunna, you can send your own school nurse a non-urgent message or a background information questionnaire before a health check. We will get back to you within three weekdays.
In school healthcare, children in grades 1, 5 and 8 are invited to extensive health checks, for which you need to fill in an electronic background information questionnaire beforehand. The school nurse sends you through Wilma a separate message with a schedule and instructions for the health checks, but you can also book an appointment according to your needs whenever you wish to.
In other grades, there will also be electronic questionnaires on your child’s wellbeing, sent to you with instructions in a Wilma message. Your answers help us adapt the health check according to your child’s needs and estimate when a health check should be conducted.
Contact details and walk-in hours can be found on the school’s website and on notice boards.
Book an appointment with your school nurse by phone or through Lunna at https://lunna.suomisote.fi/.
