The Healthy Child Programme is designed to offer every family support in making healthy choices. It includes immunisations, health information, developmental reviews, and access to a range of community services and resources.

Pregnancy and the first five years of life are one of the most important stages in life, as this is when the foundations of future health and wellbeing are laid down. The Healthy Child Programme is delivered and supported by Health Visiting teams during this phase.

The Healthy Child Programme continues to be delivered and supported by School Nursing teams once your child starts school.

If you have any worries about your baby’s or toddler’s development talk to your health visitor, even if it is some time since the last regular visit, or some time since you’ve been to a clinic. Health visitors can come to your home to talk through any concerns you have and can put you in touch with the people who can help if there are problems.

Our 0 to 19 health practitioners will get in touch to review your child’s development at around 10 months and 2 years and 3 months

If you are worried about your baby or child’s development or would like to contact our health visiting team, please give us a call on 0300 333 5352 (Monday – Friday 9am to 5pm) or email publichealthnursing.torbay@nhs.net
