Excellent news item by @Damian_Roland on the surge in measles cases and the importance of vaccinations.
Health visitors have an important role to play to support ⬆️in MMR uptake 👇

Frustrating to see this @educationgovuk. School attendance matters, but so does supporting children with chronic conditions. Not every tummy ache is mild. It could be something serious like Crohn's or Colitis. Many kids want to be in school, learning with their friends but can't.

New mum seems strange? Seek help.
It could be postpartum psychosis (PP), a treatable medical emergency.
Help make an urgent appointment with their doctor, midwife, health visitor or call 111. If you think there is imminent danger, call 999. With help they will recover.

Mental Health Awareness Week is from 15-21 May and the theme is anxiety. It really helps to talk when you’re feeling anxious and this is just as important for dads. Don’t bottle things up – talk earlier to get support. Speak to other dads, your GP or Health Visitor.

Today is International Nurses Day.
It takes a special person to be a nurse.
Thank you to all of them for doing what they do.
#InternationalNursesDay #IND2023 #NursesDay #Nurses – at London, England
ALT Nurses are truly heroes, doing a job that most couldn’t do, healing is their mission and compassion is their power; Through the dark times they smile and their light shines through, courageous and ready for action with tender loving care during any darkest hour. Without fuss they take good care of us, they comfort with professionalism, kind words and listening ears; showing the best of humanity and helping to ease anxiety, warming every heart with kindness and hiding their own worries and fears. Displaying patience with patients in moments of frustration, they fully deserve our appreciation, always there in sickness and health, for better or worse; working so hard day and night to make things alright, proving love and care is the essence of life, it takes a special person to be a nurse. @allontheboard

So here’s a thread 🧵 on some of the support HV’s provide on a daily bases. We do not just weigh babies, however that is an overlooked action. When HV’s are “just weighing baby” they are assessing a multitude of variables. Relationships, feelings, feeding…

Listen to the health visitors!
They know what they’re talking about interacting with families on the ground day to day. Start addressing this grim reality by funding health visiting better.

The role of health visitors cannot be understated and yet their work is often overlooked.@iHealthVisiting's survey shows a workforce under extreme pressure. We need a fully funded workforce plan with a focus on children to ensure every child has the #beststart in life @DHSCgovuk

Our survey findings paint a bleak picture. HVs see first-hand the realities that families with babies and young children in the UK are facing - these pose risks to the health and wellbeing of babies and young children

iHV is delighted to launch new film capturing how #HealthVisitors support families through the unexpected twists and turns of early parenthood. Parenting is hard and nothing completely prepares you for it.
