Are you a registered nurse/midwife looking a new challenge? Birmingham Community Healthcare Trust are recruiting student Health Visitors. An excellent opportunity to develop your skills & effect change that reduces health inequalities for children & families.
Today I was in awe at the retirement of 2 of my new health visitor colleagues, so many years of their commitment to children & families. Good luck Elaine & Sandra in your new adventures... The service will really miss you!! @CPaintain@MccathieNeal@MarciaPPerry@ZeldaPetersBCHC
A big welcome back to our 40 health visiting students who are re-commencing the SCPHN course today at Wolverhampton and BCU. Looking forward to having you back in practice over the next few weeks and coming months.

Perinatal MH problems are rarely one-off events, so often women have experienced MH problems before & will do again. Women who have had MH problems in the past are particularly vulnerable now. #supportingmumsduringdifficulttimes
You can’t take part if you have tested positive to Covid 19 considering we haven’t been testing most of the symptomatic cases how is that going to work then 🤔
We know that lockdown with a baby can be tricky, However
it’s important to check if their chest or back of neck feels clammy as this is a sign they are getting too hot. If your baby’s skin is hot or sweaty, remove one or more layers of clothing or bedding.
@iHealthVisiting I visited a 33 week premature baby today at 7 weeks wearing PPE. Mum concerned baby very quiet with fast respirations I sent them to A and E he was admitted for sepsis screen #healthvisiting 😅 glad I visited!
@penelopedougan Just a voluntary expression of interest being asked of our support staff at the moment I’m only aware of one of the HV students starting next week due to her previous clinical experience
This infographic gives a practical guide on getting the most appropriate medical help especially during the Covid19 crisis. We also recommend using the BabyCheck app for infants as an assessment tool to help you identify how poorly your baby might be. Download from the App Store.
Thank you to the amazing staff in the Children & Families Division who are being redeployed to work across the Trust. So proud of all of you and the support you are giving to areas of greatest need 😊@CPaintain@MccathieNeal@bhamcommunity
@salhogg @paedsnursebeth Hi I am pleased to say Birmingham health visiting service is increasing 34 staff are being redeployed back in from various services within the trust. Health visiting in Birmingham considered a critical to life service at the moment.
