The Institute of Health Visiting (iHV) is delighted to launch its Learning and Development Training Programme for September 2026 – September 2027, offering a full year of CPD‑accredited, evidence‑based learning, designed to strengthen practice across the health visiting and multi-agency workforce.
This annual schedule gives busy practitioners, service leads, and commissioners the clarity they need to plan ahead, meet statutory obligations, and ensure their teams remain current, confident, and equipped to provide safe high-quality, evidence-based, effective care that improves outcomes for babies, children and families.
Our programmes provide a clear pathway to demonstrate up‑to‑date knowledge, support NMC revalidation, and strengthen role satisfaction and emotional wellbeing through meaningful CPD.
Why iHV training works:
iHV programmes are grounded in the latest evidence, shaped by lived experience, and facilitated in close collaboration with experts by experience, topic specialists, and frontline practitioners who bring extensive knowledge and a deep understanding of the pressures of practice.
Participants consistently report increased knowledge, understanding and confidence, stronger multi‑agency working, and measurable impact on service quality.
By investing in CPD that is current, prevention focused, and rooted in public health principles, practitioners can continue to provide evidence-based care, reduce inequalities, enhance safety, and deliver the best possible support to the families they serve. Our programmes are highly valued across the workforce for their relevance, quality, and impact.
Here’s what participants have told us over the past year – feedback that highlights the impact of iHV training programmes, their relevance, and their application to everyday health visiting practice:
