The iHV has a committed and highly regarded team, with professional expertise in numerous public health priority topics for babies, young children and families. We also engage with practitioners and parents/carers to support the co-production of our work and outputs through our Health Visitor Advisory Forum, regular networking events, surveys, and bespoke project and training co-production groups.
To strengthen the iHV team we have recently reached out for and appointed some new iHV Expert Advisers to join our existing advisers, for a range of specific specialist topics. These are health visitors and leading experts in their field and their role is to offer expert subject guidance, to support the work of the iHV.

- Gail Barker – iHV Expert Adviser: Infant Feeding
