Sofia joined IPS Cascais at the start of this academic year. Having worked in paediatrics for over a decade, she places the health and welfare of children at the heart of everything she does. For her, being a school nurse is about much more than providing healthcare — it’s about contributing to the school community and nurturing children’s wellbeing, bringing lasting benefits for the future.
