Health Visitors

Health Visitors are qualified nurses or midwives with specialist public health training. We are trained in child development and protecting children. We advise and support the health and well-being of babies, children and their families. We are available to support you in pregnancy and will see you once your baby is born.

Health Visitors lead the Healthy Child Programme to ensure a healthy start for your family. This includes routine visits, developmental reviews and health promotion advice. We also provide additional services and support that any family may need, for example, feeding or sleeping difficulties or support with ante or post-natal depression. We are also able to provide support and advice to you within our regular child health clinics and at any time until your child becomes five years of age. Our teams include community staff nurses, student health visitors and team administrators.
