Health Visiting Teams

Health Visitors offer services to families within our children’s centres and local health centres to provide services to families in locations close to their home. After attending antenatal classes and being seen at home by midwives, parents will receive information and support for their new babies, and also be invited to baby clinics to regularly weigh babies and ensure that they are healthy and well.

It is not uncommon for mothers to suffer emotional difficulties or low mood after childbirth. Health Visitors can follow-up with you discreetly at home and can refer onto other relevant services if need be. Your Doctor/GP can also refer onto services.

Health Visitors can help with:

• Health and Development Reviews 

• Support with feeding

• Vitamins - You can still collect vitamins from your local distribution reception point. We are also offering to deliver your vitamins: please call 020 7641 5923 to arrange a delivery. 

• Immunisations - You can find out when your child needs to have their vaccines and how to book an appointment on the NHS website.

• Mental health and well being 

• Extra support at home for children and families identified as having greater health and social needs

Your Doctor/GP can also refer onto services. 

Classes are held regularly on various topics such as baby massage and weaning, and parents are encouraged to call and book onto a class in advance, as they are very popular. Contact your local family hub to find out more.
