Your ChatHealth messaging service is run by School Nurses in Devon County Council Public Health Nursing and is available from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday.

We aim to reply to you within one working day and you should get an immediate bounce-back to confirm we received your text. Texts will not be seen outside of normal working hours. If you need help before you hear back from us, contact your GP, NHS 111 or dial 999 if it is an emergency.
