Health Visiting

All Health Visitors are qualified nurses or midwives with extra training and experience of child and family health, public health and health promotion.

Their role is to work with you and your family, offering support and advice in the first years of your parenting journey.

Health Visitors work as part of integrated Start Well Locality teams, which include:

  • Staff Nurses
  • Early Years Workers
  • Health Visiting Locality Assistants
  • Support staff

They may see you and your family at home, in health centres or clinics, in Start Well Hubs or at your GP surgery. Your Health Visitor will be in touch with you before you have your baby.

You can visit the Stockport NHS website to find more information about the Health Visiting Service.
