What do Health visitors do?

Health visitors work with families with children aged 0 to 5 years to improve and protect health, prevent ill health and reduce inequalities. We work with families with a new baby from late in the antenatal period up to five years of age. We use our expertise and training to identify needs and determine risks and work with clinical and public health colleagues to make sure the right support is provided as early as possible.
