Health Visiting
Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust provides Health Visitors in both Hull and East Riding.
0-19’s Services
The early years bring lots of change, for babies, young children and the people caring for them. Having the right advice and support along the way can make a real difference to the wellbeing of the whole family.
Health visitors are registered nurses or midwives with additional specialist public health training. Our Health Visiting Services support families from pregnancy until their child starts school, working alongside parents and carers to give children the best possible start in life.
Whether you are expecting your first baby, adjusting to family life, wondering about your child’s development or finding things difficult yourself, our teams are there to offer advice, reassurance and support.
How we can help
Health visiting teams can support families with:
Your baby or young child’s development and emotional wellbeing
Bonding and early relationships

Sleep and behaviour
Infant feeding and nutrition
Parenting and adjusting to family life
Healthy lifestyles and school readiness
Wider family or safeguarding support
Support is available in person, through drop-in sessions and over the telephone.
