Accessing our service All families can access our service and there's no need for a referral. We find out about a pregnancy or a new baby from our partner services and then we’ll get in touch. Our support is available from pregnancy until your child turns five, and there's many different ways to get help. You can text us using our confidential ChatHealth service, come along to a well baby clinic in your local area, or book an appointment if you need more focused support. We run clinics in your local area. We’re mainly based in children’s centres, family hubs, or community spaces like as village halls. We have a set schedule for these clinics, but if you need help outside of opening times, you can contact us via ChatHealth. In some cases, we can also offer appointments in one of our appointment-only clinics. See health visiting clinics schedules and locations
