Read below about our last lucky winner, Jen Menzies!

Jen Menzies
SCPHN HV and Senior lecturer Northumbria University

I always look forward to the arrival of my iHV Times, and avidly completed my membership survey last July.

I was delighted, after submitting my survey responses and entering the prize draw, to win a free conference place! I hope to use my prize to attend the evidence-based practice conference in September this year in Manchester.  I am optimistic this will be face-to-face!

The survey is a great way to ensure the iHV meets all the requirements of its members and, as both a practitioner and academic, the iHV resources ensure that I am up to date with contemporary issues and evidence-based practice in health visiting and the wider public health agenda. Particularly at present, during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important we have online resources to help us navigate the new landscape in health visiting. The iHV is helping us do this virtually with its excellent free Insights webinars and e-resources to ensure we maximise the learning opportunities and remain aware of the latest evidence.

We are delighted that one of our members, Janine McKnight-Cowan, won the RCN Community and General Practice Nursing Award at last night’s RCN awards.

Janine, from Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust, won the award for developing a tool to help health visitors explain to new mothers who’ve had a C-section as to why it’s important to take it easy.

She also presented her Five Guide for health visitors enhancing C-Section recovery on a poster at our evidence-based practice conference in May this year

As Janine says:

‘Five guide is so simple. For every lady who has a caesarean this has to be communicated. It is transferable for all health visitors, midwives and others. I now want to get this out as a national standard.’

Many congratulations Janine!
