Children and Young People – Health Visiting Service

Source: https://www.berkshirehealthcare.nhs.uk/services/health-visiting-service

Our Health Visiting teams are made up of health visitors – nurses and midwives with special public‑health training – supported by community nurses and administrators. We help families with children from pregnancy until the child turns five as part of the Healthy Child Programme.

Who can use it?

• Any family living in Bracknell Forest, Wokingham, Reading or West Berkshire.
• No referral is needed – we’ll contact you once we learn about a pregnancy or a new baby.

How we work:

• We run well‑baby clinics in children’s centres, family hubs and community venues such as village halls. Schedules are posted online, and you can also book a focused appointment if you need more help.
• You can text us using our confidential ChatHealth service for quick support.
• For assessments we’ll send you a reminder and ask you to bring your child’s Personal Child Health Record (the red book).
