Health Visitors
You can normally see the Health Visitors at their drop-in clinic; for further information please contact the Practice, as these clinics require to be booked in advance with the nursing team.
Health Visitors are all trained Nurses who have extra training and qualifications in child health. They are a fantastic source of information about child development and health, parenting strategies, breastfeeding, nutrition and community support. They also offer help with social, emotional and environmental issues that affect families.
