With the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife being extended into 2021, we have another opportunity to celebrate the important work of health visitors.
Just in case you missed them, there’s a fab series of videos which showcase some of the great work that health visitors do – thanks to the Local Government Association (LGA) who recently published them alongside support from iHV and SAPHNA.
These videos highlight HV teams which have come up with new ways of supporting families during the pandemic. These case studies highlight some of the vital role that health visiting and school nurse services play in identifying problems early and giving children the best start in life.
On 21 July 2016, the Maternity Transformation Programme was officially launched.
More than 200 people, each with a passion and drive to improve maternity services gathered to understand how the programme will achieve the vision set out in Better Births, the report of the National Maternity Review.
The following videos include key messages from the opening speeches.
