Children and Young People – Health Visiting Service

Service page: https://www.berkshirehealthcare.nhs.uk/services/health-visiting-service

• We help families with babies and children up to five years old. The support includes:
  • Screening tests and developmental reviews
  • Immunisations
  • Parenting advice and practical help
• You do not need a referral – we find out about a pregnancy or a new baby through our partner services and then get in touch.
• Ways to get help:
  • Text us on the confidential ChatHealth service (you can also book a face‑to‑face appointment if you need more focused support).
  • Attend a well‑baby clinic held in local children’s centres, family hubs, village halls or other community spaces.
  • Call us directly if you need an appointment outside of regular clinic times.
• Preparing for a visit:
  • We will send you a text reminder with the date and time.
  • Bring your child’s Personal Child Health Record (red book) and any completed questionnaires.
  • Write down any questions or concerns you have beforehand.
