School Nursing Service

Our School Nurse is Debbie Halloran.  Debbie is a School Nurse Specialist Practitioner and is employed by Locala School Nurse Team.

Aim .....to help children achieve their optimum in both physical and emotional well-being throughout their journey in Purlwell Infant and Nursery School.  This is achieved by working in partnership with school, children and their families offering a range of interventions that include parenting advice, advocacy and health promotion.

I will support school staff and parents in devising Health Care Plans for children who have asthma, diabetes, epilepsy or any other long term conditions.  I will refer to other health professionals as necessary for eg GP,  Community Paediatrician, Continence Service, Orthoptist, Audiology.

Mental Health and Wellbeing

We have high expectations of our children academically, and at our school we understand that good mental health is a vital part of achieving this. We teach our children the early skills they will build on through their entire lives to help protect them from the stress and anxiety of modern life.
