Health Visiting
THE
HEALTH VISITORS HAVE NOW MOVED TO THE EAST OXFORD HEALTH CENTRE
(3RD FLOOR).
The
health visitors are qualified nurses working as part of the Primary
Health Care Team with your GP and other community nurses. They
have additional training in Family and Child Health, Health Promotion
and Education. They work in partnership with families and young
children. They provide emotional and practical support with everyday
difficulties that may affect health, including postnatal depression,
housing and domestic violence. The health visitors will see babies
after the age of 10 days, first at home, then in the child health
clinics which are currently being held in the East Oxford Medical
Centre on Wednesdays.
The
child health clinics are "drop-in" clinics: no appointment
is necessary. Children requiring immunisations will be invited
to come on a specific day. Please do not bring ill children to
the child health clinics. They should be seen by appointment in
the normal consulting sessions.
You
may contact your health visitors on 01865
264967. If they are out in the community, please
leave a message on the answer machine.
