Hours of Service:

The health visiting team works with pre-school children and their families, before and/or after the birth of a child. A health visitor becomes involved after a child is discharged from Midwifery Services, approximately 10 days old, and supports families until their child starts school. It is UNICEF baby friendly accredited. The children and families team consists of:
- Health Visitors
- Community Staff Nurses
- Nursery Nurses
Health Care Support Workers - Dental Health Support Workers
The health visiting team works closely with families and a wider primary care team, such as GPs, midwives, speech and language therapists, health promotion teams, school nurses, district nurses, specialist children’s services and the voluntary sector.
