Abstract
Health has a central place in SDG 3 which aims to ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all ages. This case study demonstrates the important role Public Health Nurses (PHNs) play in achieving SDG 3 through involvement in a novel multidisciplinary, inter-agency paediatric development clinic set in a disadvantaged Irish community where children and families experience significant levels of adversity. Kidscope is the only community paediatric clinic in Ireland to offer free assessment, consultation, and onward referral of children aged 0 to 6 years living in a highly vulnerable community. The KidScope model of care requires PHNs to provide specialist early years support to vulnerable children and families within a largely generalist role.
