Health Visiting - Parenting support

We work to improve the health and wellbeing of children and families in the crucial first years of life.

Our Health Visiting teams offer friendly support and advice, and we work closely with GPs, midwives, school nurses and the wider local community.

We provide the Healthy Child Programme to ensure a healthy start for your child, ongoing support for parents, and access to a range of community-based services and resources.

We offer a universal service to all children and families, which includes:

• A visit and check when your baby is 10-14 days old
• A review for you and your baby at 6-8 weeks carried out by your GP/Health Visitor
• A 10-12 month health review
• A 2-2 ½ year review, usually carried out by a nursery nurse.
