Tameside NHS Health Visiting Service

We are a team of NHS Health Visitors and Nursery Nurses in Tameside, supporting families from before baby is born to when they are 5 years old

Love the simplicity of some of these ways to check in and let someone know that you are ready to listen if they are ready to talk. #MentalHealthAwareness

It is fantastic that the first Westminster Hall debate is about the impact of COVID on babies and their families. Definitely an issue that needs more attention in Westminster. Thank you @CatMcKinnell for championing this. We look forward to watching at 430pm.

Good news for Tameside families 👶🏻

[iHV @iHealthVisiting]

Read letter - iHV is pleased and relieved that the Chief Nurses and LGA have supported our campaign for health visitors not to be redeployed again, infants and their families have never needed them more than they do at the moment. https://t.co/fvCHiE2RIS #HealthVisiting

Do you have a little one with an upset tummy?
It’s probably a bug & should clear up in a few days. In the meantime, keep them at home and make sure they have plenty of rest & keep sipping water.
