‘. he wanted a health system where incentives were not for hospitals “to get as many thro their doors as possible” but rather “to prevent people ending up in expensive sec care in the first place”.Yup that’ll be School nursing then! ⁦@MattHancock

iHV submits powerful evidence to @hmtreasury Comprehensive #SpendingReview . Investment in #HealthVisiting needed to strengthen the vital safety net that they provide for all children, particularly our most vulnerable children, after years of cuts.

In case you missed it- health visitors across the country are united in their thanks to @sarahjolney1 for sponsoring the debate on Tuesday & calling for investment in health visiting. Can’t be said clearer than this👇👏.

It can be difficult for parents to ask for help if they’re struggling with their mental health. Professionals can spot the signs and give mums and dads the help they need. @sarahjolney1 tells us why it’s important that the Gov’t rebuilds the health visiting workforce.

@Cahill_Lou @jenidubs Very interesting. Health Visitors are also only on B6 in England despite matching for B7. They have a post registration qualification, often at Masters level, and massive autonomy as well as safeguarding responsilities.
