Healthy Family Teams

Healthy Family Teams are part of the Healthy Families Programme.

Specialist Public Health Practitioners and their teams, who used to be known as Health Visitors and School Nurses, provide support to all families living in Nottinghamshire with a child aged between 0 and 19 years, and 0-25 for young people with SEND.

This includes expectant mums and young people attending Nottinghamshire schools aged up to 19 years.

We work closely with local GP practices, early years settings, schools, midwives, family hubs, social care and other services in each area. 

We make sure that parents and young people can be offered the full range of support they may need. It also includes the Family Nurse Partnership Programme for young parents and the National Child Measurement Programme.

We cover Ashfield, Bassetlaw, Broxtowe, Gedling, Mansfield, Newark and Sherwood, and Rushcliffe.

Our ‘Healthy Family Teams’ are situated across the county. Children, young people and families living in Nottinghamshire will receive care from this us. We support from before birth to their late teens when they need it.

A Specialist Public Health Practitioner leads each Healthy Family Team. Other staff in the teams are Public Health Practitioners, Senior Assistant Public Health Practitioners, Assistant Public Health Practitioners, Community Health Assistants, Screening Assistants and Administrators.

By working together, each Healthy Family Teams member will support families and children in different ways. This depends on the type of help required.

This service works 8.30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, but can also work out of hours (Monday to Friday) if required.
