School nurses

School nurses are part of Bedfordshire Community Health Services’ 0-19 team

The team is made up of specialist nurses, staff nurses and support health professionals. When a child comes to school, they take over their care from their health visitor. They support a young person’s physical and emotional needs from when they start school until they leave.

Parentline is a secure and confidential text service for parents and carers of those aged 0-19. It offers advice and support on a range of issues such as sleep and emotional health or how to make an appointment with our team. This is also a great mechanism to find out how to access other local services.

Simply text 07507 331456 with your question to start the conversation – the team will be there to answer your queries from 9am to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays).
