Health Visiting

YOUR HEALTH VISITING SERVICE

Our health visiting team includes health visitors, student health visitors, community nursery nurses, student nurses and administrators.

Health visitors are qualified nurses that have completed a specialist community public health degree. Health visitors lead on the ‘Healthy Child Programme‘.

Health visitors also work in partnership with other services such as GPs, midwives, social workers, children’s centre staff, therapists, paediatricians and dieticians to name a few.

If you have a child aged 0-5 and you live in Slough, it’s really easy to get in touch with the Health Visiting team using the ChatHealth service. You don’t need to give your name if you don’t want to and you will be able to get confidential advice and information from us direct to your phone, about any concerns you may have about the health of your baby or child.

Just send a text message to 07312 277781

If you need to make or change an appointment, please contact

Telephone: 01753 373464 / 0800 7723578

ChatHealth is for parents and carers of babies and children 0-5 and is not used for professionals who need to speak to the Health Visiting Service. ChatHealth doesn’t receive images or pictures. Please be aware that it is not a live chat session and we will aim to respond to all messages within 24 hours Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm (excluding bank holidays).

 

When your child goes to school, the school nursing service will take over the delivery of the healthy child programme.

Each school will have a named school nurse team.

Each school nurse team is made up of staff with different mixes of skill, and different members of the team will deliver elements of the school nurse service, according to their skills and competencies.
