Dr Alain Gregoire received his honorary Fellowship of the Institute of Health Visiting at the iHV’s sixth annual celebration event held in London on 4 December 2018. The award, in recognition of his continued support of both the Institute and the health visiting profession, marks the high esteem in which he is held by the Institute’s board.
Alain, a Consultant Perinatal Psychiatrist and chair of the Maternal Mental Health Alliance, has worked with the Institute on its Perinatal Mental Health Champions project and much more widely has campaigned around and supported the critical role of the health visitor in recognising and supporting mothers with perinatal mental illness.
