The iHV works with partners whose goals, values and actions align with its own to promote and/or enable good health. By working together, we develop bespoke partnerships to help organisations achieve their own business objectives to make a real difference to the lives of babies, children and families. Through our partnerships, we have developed mutually beneficial relationships with other organisations and opportunities for shared learning, without compromising the independence of the iHV (see our Position Statements on
iHV Partnerships and iHV Ethical Principles for more information).
Our Sponsor
We would like to thank our sponsor, the Digital Health Transformation Service – Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust.
As an NHS-based project team, the Digital Health Transformation Service at Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust has been helping health teams make transformative changes since 2012. Their partnership with the Institute of Health Visiting is an opportunity for the health visiting community to share innovative ways of working with their peers across the UK and across different types of services.
The team proudly supports a 2,000-strong community of innovative health professionals from more than 70 NHS Trusts and healthcare organisations to adopt and share high-quality digital tools to benefit service users. To date, 40% of health visiting teams have set up ChatHealth messaging services, with dedicated project management support offered by the team throughout implementation.
Visit impacts.dhtsnhs.uk for more information about the impacts of their work and the spotlight on health visiting.
The ChatHealth messaging platform and the Health for Under 5s website are award-winning digital tools used by many health visiting teams across the NHS to connect and engage with the families in their localities.
