The school nurses of Fuerteventura from the School Nursing Program of the Canarian Health Service (SCS) organize the I Autonomous Congress of School Health, which will take place on April 10 and 11 in parallel to the III Southern School Health Fair, in Pájara. Under the motto ‘From theory to fair’, this pioneering initiative in the Canary Islands seeks to unite science, community and education, with the aim of consolidating a coordinated school health model, based on scientific evidence and focused on the well-being of students. The implementation of the school nurse in educational centers, promoted by the ministries of Health and Education, Vocational Training, Physical Activity and Sports of the Government of the Canary Islands, aims to promote healthy habits in classrooms and coordinate care between the educational environment and the health system. Congress program The congress, which will be held at the Río Calma Hotel (Costa Calma), will bring together school nurses, teachers, health professionals, researchers and students. Over two days, current topics will be addressed, such as mental health and emotional well-being, healthy lifestyles, prevention of bullying and addictions, care for chronic diseases and innovation in school health. The program combines round tables, scientific communications and poster presentations, and will include awards for the best contributions, with prizes for oral communications and scientific posters. This initiative responds to the need to make the role of school nursing visible, unite professional practice in the field of school health, promote common models based on evidence and create strategic alliances between institutions. The Health Area of Fuerteventura, the Health Services Management of the island, the Island Council and the Pájara City Council have actively collaborated in the organization of this congress. Educational fair with the participation of more than 800 schoolchildren In parallel, on Friday, April 10 in the morning, the III Southern School Health Fair will be held at the Costa Calma sports facilities, with the participation of more than 800 Primary Education schoolchildren from different centers in the municipality of Pájara and the CEIP Tarajalejo (Tuineje). This fair will offer a dynamic, participatory and experiential experience, with workshops on first aid and basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation, oral health, healthy eating and physical activity, emotional health, prevention of addictions and bullying and the FAST HEROES program for detection and action in cases of stroke. The activities of the fair will be developed by school nurses from the SCS School Nursing Program, with the collaboration of associations, collaborating entities and professionals from the Fuerteventura Health Area, consolidating a real community intervention model. After the success of the two previous editions of the fair, the incorporation of a scientific congress turns this meeting into a regional benchmark with a vocation for national projection.
