Stoke-on-Trent 0-19 Integrated Health Visiting and School Nursing Service

We are your School Nurses based in Stoke on Trent as part of the 0-19 team. There are lots of ways that you can get in touch with us. We have a hub open daily Monday to Friday 9am-5pm. Where you can speak to a member of our team.  Please give us a call on 0808 178 3374. Or if you prefer, you can also text us on our confidential ChatHealth text messaging service: 07520 615 723.

How does it work?

We are Qualified Nurses who have qualifications in Public Health and have additional skills and knowledge in working with young people like yourself.

Working alongside us to support you in keeping you happy healthy and safe are Children, Young People and family Practitioners who are not nurses but have skills and training to support you in many areas of health and health promotion.

We work in your schools and offer you a confidential service like no other service can (if we feel that you are at risk of harm, we may have to speak to other agencies with your consent, in order to protect you though).

You may have seen one of our team in your Year 7 and Year 10 assembly at your school, giving you details of how we can support you and to give you information of when the drop- ins are available at your school. Here, we can offer you confidential advice on sexual health, can register you for C card (condoms) and if needed can offer you Emergency Contraception in a safe and supportive way. Or it may be that you just need to speak to one of our friendly team about an issue that is worrying you, and that’s fine.

Some of you may require additional support with your physical health, or maybe support with your emotional health and wellbeing. We are all well trained in helping you make the best of yourself and find support for you if needed.
We hope that you find what you are looking for here, but if not then please get in touch with us and hopefully we can find a way to help and support you.

Your 0-19 team.
