| The health visiting service is available to all families with children in the 0-5 year age group. A health visitor can provide you with advice, information and support regarding aspects of child and family health. Your health visitor has a good knowledge of Child Development and will be able to monitor the growth and development of your child. Health visitors work closely with GP’s and other health professionals. |
| Health visiting teams work within a geographical area. Health visitors provide home visits but more often see children and their families at the Child Health Clinic/baby clinic. |
| The Health visiting team allocated to provide a home visiting service and general contact for your family will depend upon which area of the city you live. The Crookes/Broomhill Health Visiting team are responsible for running the weekly Child Health Clinic at the university health centre. |
| This clinic is on Thursday Afternoons between 1.30pm and 2.30pm. |
| There is an appointment system if children need medical checks at 8 weeks of age or for immunisations. However, if you wish to see a health visitor for general advice or to have your child weighed you can ‘drop-in’ between the above times. |
| Occasionally clinics have to be cancelled so it is probably advisable to check with the University Health Centre on 0114 22 22 100 prior to attending. |
