First Community Health and Care has recently launched a new way for young people to get advice and support about health related issues.  ‘ChatHealth’ is an award-winning school nurse messaging service for young people aged 11-19 years, available Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm (automatic bounce-backs respond to incoming messages out of hours).

A secure ‘app’ will be introduced later this year, enabling students to speak with a nurse by instant messages on smartphones after logging-in with a username and password.

The aim is to further improve access to healthcare for young people and to continue improving the quality and safety of the service.  Young people have helped develop the promotional material which we are using to advertise the service in our school.  The text number is 07507 329951.
