What you will study

Health Visitors are responsible for giving children a healthy foundation for life by assessing the family and home situation, providing support to parents and assessing the needs of young children. They build trusting relationships with children, carers and families to positively influence their future health outcomes. School Nurses work with families and young people from when they start school up to aged 19, and provide a vital link between home and school.
