We’re here to provide trusted health visiting support for families in Torbay, offering guidance on everything from infant feeding and child development to sleep routines and emotional wellbeing. Whether you’re a new parent or navigating the toddler years, our team is here to help your family thrive.
Health visitors are specially trained nurses or midwives who work with public health nurses and community nursery nurses who are part of our 0 to 19 Torbay and Torbay Family Hub service. Together, we help families stay healthy, happy, and confident as they raise their little ones.
We work with midwives, GPs, paediatricians, local family hubs and voluntary organisations to provide the best possible care to you and your family.
A member of the Health Visiting Team will see you at least at least four times:
We will also offer two further developmental reviews,when your baby is between 9 and 12 months old. and again when they are 2 years around 3 months old.
During these visits, we’ll talk about how you and your baby are doing and answer any questions you have.
You can email your local health visiting team to change or amend an appointment. You can find out more about these appointments on the Torbay Family Hub website.
Come along to a child health clinic for advice, information and support for you and your child’s health and development from your local Health Visiting Team.
