HEALTH VISITING TEAM - 01489 788695
There are two Health Visitors, a Community Paediatric Staff Nurse and a Nursery Nurse. The Health Visitors have an office within the Medical Centre with their own telephone line.
They are registered nurses and can advise on health issues for the whole family. They have undertaken further training in behaviour management and will take direct referrals from families or Doctors. They support families who are suffering from depression or tension within the home. Health Visitors work closely with local school nurses.
Our Nursery Nurse is trained in all aspects of childcare, behaviour and development.
Parenting courses are also available through the Health Visitors for ages 0 - 6yrs and 6 - 13yrs.
