Our health visiting teams

Health Visitors are qualified nurses or midwives who have completed additional training in specialist community public health. Your local health visiting teams also have staff nurses, community nursery nurses and administrators. Please see the Institute of Health Visiting infographic entitled ‘Who are health visitors and what do they do’?

We will offer you a minimum of five contacts from late pregnancy through to a developmental assessment of your child when they are about two years old. These appointments may be offered as a video call or as a face to face appointment.

For more information, please watch this video clip from the BBC.

We understand the challenges of parenthood and can provide antenatal and postnatal support, giving you the tools and support to help your children thrive and reach their full potential. We assess health, growth, and development promoting healthy lifestyles.
