Wales Health Visiting Celebration Week 2025
CTM UHB is celebrating Wales Health Visiting Celebration Week 2025 (3rd - 7th March), which aims to raise awareness of the Health Visiting service and recognise the fantastic contribution that all staff make to the delivery of high-quality care to support families and improve outcomes for babies and children across Wales.
Who are Health Visitors and what do they do?
Health visitors are registered Nurses or Midwives who have an additional qualification as Specialist Community Public Health Nurses and play an essential role in health care.
The Health Visiting team works in partnership with communities, other professionals and families during the antenatal period, and until the child reaches the age of 5 years old (when they start school). The Health Visiting team provides advice and support to families in regards to child development, and families’ physical health and mental health.
You can find out more about health visitors and what they do here, and by watching this video: https://vimeo.com/772475131/7057202720

Our Health Visiting teams play a crucial role in ensuring that our children receive the best start in life. The Health Visiting team’s dedication is admirable.
