My Health visitor colleagues and I have been wearing a uniform for approximately 2 years now. After the initial anxieties, it was quickly embraced and in reality creates a professional looking workforce. Agencies now recognise the uniform as do parents, and at professional meetings, my job role is clear before any introductions take place. A strict uniform policy assists to raise the profile of Health visiting,enabling us to present as a credible, educated workforce delivering high standards of care.
