"School nurses play a key role in working across education and health, and providing a link between school, home and the community. Their aim is to improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people, and during these uncertain times Text-a-Nurse provides a safe way for young people to reach out for help and to discuss their concerns.
“This service offers a way for young people to anonymously access health related advice, information and guidance at the touch of a button from a specially trained nurse.”
Health Minister, Robin Swann
