Public Health Nursing Services

The overarching aim of the Service is to ensure that all children and young people receive the full service offer (Healthy Child Programme 0-19, 25), including universal access and early identification of additional and/or complex needs, with timely access to specialist services, to secure local services that enable health visiting and school nursing teams to contribute to improved local outcomes and reduce health inequalities for children and young people, maximising specialist public health, defined clinical and public health skills, professional judgment, autonomy and leadership.
