Health Visitor InfoHealth Visitor Info
A health visitor will usually visit you at home for the first time around 10 days after your baby is born. Until then you’ll be cared for by local midwives.
A health visitor is a qualified nurse or midwife who has had extra training. They’re there to help you, your family and your new baby stay healthy.
Your health visitor can visit you at home, or you can see them at your child health clinic, GP surgery or health centre, depending on where they’re based.
Talk to your health visitor if you’re struggling with your mental health. They can give you advice and suggest where to find help.
They may also be able to put you in touch with groups where you can meet other parents.
