health visiting
Health visitors are trained and registered nurses and/or midwives who have undertaken further academic study and clinical placements to become registered Specialist Community Public Health Nurses (Health Visiting) – SCPHN-HV. They support families with children age 0-5 years and parents who are about to have a baby. Having a new baby can bring lots of challenges including how to feed the baby, parenting choices, keeping babies and children safe as well as making decisions to ensure babies and children are as healthy as possible. Precious Beginnings can empower you to make informed choices based on what is best for your family without judgement or criticism.
Our services include:
• Preparing for a baby
• Caring for the new baby
• Monitoring weight, length/height and head
circumference
• Monitoring development and advising on what
to expect
• Monitoring social and emotional well-being
• Advising on feeding and nutrition (including
weaning)
• Advising on sleeping difficulties
• Advising on behaviour problems
• Supporting and advising through normal
developmental stages such as toilet training
• Screening for postnatal depression and offering
support, guidance and signposting if need arises
• Managing work alongside baby and life in
general
• Advice on keeping babies and children safe
• General concerns
• Accompanying parents to baby groups
• Playing with baby to support development
• Advice on helping siblings to settle with new
baby
Health visitors are trained to ‘search’ for health needs and sometimes needs arise that are not included in the list above – the list is not exhaustive and you can expect Precious Beginnings to offer help and guidance as need arises within the limits of competence for the health visitor.
Precious Beginnings has several ways parents can engage our health visiting services following an initial free 10-15 minute phone call. We believe in open, honest and accessible pricing:
Skype or Phone Call - £20
per 30 minutes (£25 after
6pm or on a weekend)
You will be surprised what can be covered in just 30 minutes! This package is ideal if you need advice on a specific topic or feel you need some reassurance about your child. After the call you will receive a summary report of the consultation via email.
An initial home consultation - £50 (£60 after 6pm or on a weekend)
A one-to-one visit to your home for up to 90 minutes. We can really get to know each other and we can offer you support with any health or parenting related issues. Sometimes this is all you need to feel reassured. After the visit you will receive a summary report of the consultation via email.
A follow-up home consultation - £45 (£55 after 6pm or on a weekend)
If after an initial home consultation you feel that you would benefit from another home visit, you can contact me at any time and I will visit you at your home for a reduced rate. Again this will be for up to 90 minutes and you will receive a summary report via email after the consultation..
