Health Visitors
Health Visitors/Public Health Nurses have a role in health promotion and health education with all age groups and are skilled in assessing and offering information on a wide range of health issues working closely with all members of the Primary Health Care Team within your GP surgery. They do not wear a uniform but do carry an identification badge, which shows their name, title and photograph. Patient’s are encouraged to seek identification.
Health Visitors/Public Health Nurses core working hours are Monday – Friday 9am – 5pm. An answer machine service is available, and messages are checked twice daily during working hours. They will arrange to see you at a suitable time and place e.g. your home, GP surgery, local clinic. They may be contacted by telephoning 01382 740155 (answering machine).
