The health visitor’s role starts during pregnancy and continues to offer support through the first few weeks after the birth and all the way through until early childhood.
All health visitors are nurses or midwives with specialist training in family and community health. They work with parents and their families to improve health and wellbeing.
The aim of our 0 to 19 health visiting and school health service is to make sure that children, young people and families can access a health visitor or school nurse. We can provide support with healthy growth and development, and support children with any health needs.
Starting school is a significant and exciting milestone for children and their parents and carers. It is important that any health, growth or developmental concerns are highlighted now and support can be offered from the 0-19 service in Newcastle.
