School Doctor, Public Health Care Inspector, Dentist, Dental Assistant

School healthcare shall cover all educational institutions, and it has to be organised by institutions, or jointly by several institutions. School healthcare can be provided by the school doctor in part-time or full-time job, by the public health care inspector in part-time or full-time job, and by the regional health visitor as a district-related task. If the number of students in the public educational institution reaches 800 people (in special educational institution over 400 students), the school public health care inspector shall be employed full time. One public health care inspector can provide for maximum of 1000 persons.

For school doctors and public health care inspectors who are employed in part-time, or who are providing school health care in several institutions, the time that has to be spent in each institution – in consultation with the tasks - shall be determined when establishing the legal relationship for the work, and this has to be published in the public educational institution.

School doctor’s tasks should be performed by a GP, internal medicine specialist or infant and paediatric specialist, possibly with a specialist examination in school health science and youth protection. Public health care inspector tasks may be performed by a public health care inspector with a college degree. The health care of children and pupils is provided by a doctor and a school nurse according to a schedule agreed with the head of the educational institution.

The minimum basic equipment of the school consulting room is determined by the School Health Care ministerial decree (annex 1). It is not compulsory to establish a school consulting room inside the school if students can receive provision in a health care institution near the school. In special educational- and conductive educational kindergartens and schools, a consulting room has to be established in every case.

School dental care has to be organised in a way that dental consulting rooms have to be assigned to all institutions. In a student headcount exceeding 1,200 people, the dentist to provide school dental care has to be employed in full time. The number of children in a district served by one dentist employed in full time may not exceed 1,800 people. Disabled children have to be counted twice when determining the headcount. The dentist and the dental assistant perform their school dental care tasks partly in the consulting room, partly in the educational institution. School dentists have to be paediatric dentists or dentists with experience in paediatric dentistry.

Group screening and treatment of children and pupils is carried out twice a year at the local dental clinic during term time. One pupil (group of pupils) may be deducted from 10 school hours per school year for dental check-ups and treatment. Participation in the dental check-up and supervision of the pupils during the check-up is ensured by the educational establishment.
