I first met this wonderful person and health visitor in 2007 @georginamayes77 . 14 years later I wish her lots of love and happiness as she leaves the NHS to join the iHV and fly the flag for our profession. @iHealthVisiting . Wishing you loads of luck for the future ❤️❤️
Alison Morton from @iHealthVisiting has spoken out about the strain health visitors have been under during the Covid crisis after a Twitter exchange suggested many parents felt abandoned.

Just because it’s possible to have 5-10 Teams/Zoom meetings per day doesn’t mean we should! The mental impact of relentless work, screen time and back to back meetings isn’t healthy for anyone. We all need to be kinder to ourselves and others... #mentalhealth#WFH#think#act
Wondering how to entertain your baby 24/7 whilst having to juggle feeding, changing and bathing them?
It's important to try out different things and not just talk to them.
Here's a few ideas 🙌🏻
🦶 twiddle their toes
👶 massage them
💭 blow bubbles
🥁 play with sound toys
Hearing these words from a professional means a huge amount to new parents. It will brighten their day, affirm & give recognition to their efforts & give them a huge boost in confidence as they care for their baby.

As I keep hearing about #healthvisitors again being taken from their role I think it’s important to share the blog I wrote for @iHealthVisiting about the support our #healthvisitor gave us-they are such a key support to families! @salhogg@Corporatenurses
