@007_nurse @StNurseProject @WeStudentNurse Because you have to complete a specified number of clinical hours. Breaks are not included as clinical hours. This is not about working hours it’s about clinical experience.

@JtSmith74 @Alison_Morton2 My concerns exactly

[Chery Parkes @973Cheryl]

@Alison_Morton2 We are currently undergoing recommissioning. Our LA has taken its own spin on the mandated contacts. Going forward the 6-8 week review and 9-12 month review are to be targeted only. As health visitors we are being asked to risk assess families based on minimal contact 😔.

Looking forward to the IHV Leadership Conference today #ihealthvisiting #iHVLeadership2020

[Alison Morton OBE💙 @Alison_Morton2]

Heads up that tomorrow @iHealthVisiting will be publishing “Making history: health visiting during Covid-19”. A fabulous collection of case studies & experiences which shine a spotlight on their vital work supporting children & families during lockdown #HVMakingHistory

[iHV @iHealthVisiting]

Redeployed health visitors tell us they are not needed, but the families they left behind really need them now @DHSCgovuk. No one knew how this would work out but it’s time for HVs to get back to the job they are trained for @Jochurchill4 @MattHancock

[Chery Parkes @973Cheryl]
