Health Visitors in Northamptonshire
The 0-19 Admin Hub is the front door for 0-19 services in Northamptonshire; it is the central point of contact for telephone and administrative queries for the 0-19 service.
The 0-19 administrators help support the 0-19 service to provide the Healthy Child Programme, a planned series of contacts (face to face or virtual via video call) with children and young people up to 19 years old and their families.
Our friendly and caring 0-19 administrators are available to provide children, young people and their families with access to our 0-19 service (made up of Health Visitors in Northamptonshire, Specialist School Nurses, Community Nurses, Nursery Nurses and other skill mix professionals) as well as signpost to the most appropriate service to meet their needs.
Appointments
Every family with a baby or a child aged 0-5 will be offered the universal element of the Healthy Child Programme, which consists of 5 required universal contacts. The five universal contacts offered to all families with young children are:
- New birth visit at home between 11-14 days after your baby is born. This will include a hearing check for your baby depending on where you live. N.B babies born outside Northamptonshire may have the hearing test done whilst they are in hospital.
- 6-8 week assessment of growth and development – this will include a discussion about parent’s mental health and any concerns.
- 10-12 months review of your child’s development using an Ages and Stages Questionnaire.
- 2-2 1/2 year review of your child’s development using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire.
