Rutland Health Visiting Service

About this service

Becoming a parent is one of life's biggest transitions, and the Rutland Health Visiting Service is designed to be with you every step of the way. Starting during pregnancy, health visitors offer a consistent point of contact for all families, providing universal health reviews and developmental checks for your child. They are experts in infant feeding, sleep routines, and maternal mental health, offering a non-judgmental space to share your concerns. For families who may be facing additional challenges, the health visitors can provide more intensive, targeted support to ensure both parent and child are thriving. Their visits—whether in your home or at a local clinic—are an opportunity to celebrate your child's milestones and address any health or parenting questions you might have. This service acts as a foundation for a healthy start, ensuring you feel supported, informed, and connected to wider community health resources.
