My work wardrobe consists of a collection of smart trousers, shirts, tops and jumpers. Nails are short, tidy and without varnish. Jewellery is a wrist watch and a plain wedding band.
My employing NHS Trust has a uniform policy which identifies a no jeans, nail polish, false nails, flip flops or low cut tops. Not unreasonable in my opinion.
If Health Visitors wish to be seen and considered as Professionals then they should dress in a way that depicts this; wearing denim jeans and coloured nail polish does not say “Professional ” .
