Parentchat: the texting service for parents

Are you a Parent, Carer or Guardian of a Child aged 5-19 years who attends school or lives in Gloucestershire?

You can text your School Nurse using ParentChat on 07312 263059 for support and advice on any health related issues or concerns relating to your child. These concerns might include:

·   Sleep

·   Behaviour

·   Bullying

·   Healthy eating

·   Bladder and Bowel needs, including toileting

·   Emotional health and wellbeing

·   Or any other health needs requiring support.

This text messaging service will allow for a quick response from a trained healthcare professional with advice or signposting services.

Messages are delivered to a secure website, and a School Nurse will respond to you.

The service is available Monday to Friday from 9am to 4.30pm, excluding bank holidays. Someone will usually get back to you within 48 hours. If you contact us outside of office hours, you will receive a message explaining where to get help if your question is urgent, and when you can expect a response.
