Welcome to our Hull Health Visiting and School Nursing Service

We believe that every child is entitled to the best possible start in life.

The 0-19 team deliver a public health service in Hull. We work with all families, starting in pregnancy until young people leave school and beyond, including those with SEND up to 25 years of age.

The 0-19 team helps parents, carers, children, and young people. We hope to help people make healthy choices, be safe and feel happy. The team is led by Health Visitors and School Nurses, who work together in a big team that includes:

  • Public Health Nurses
  • Health and Development Practitioners
  • Nursing Associates
  • Infant Feeding Practitioners
  • Unintentional Injury and Safer Sleep Team
  • Administration Team

We all work together to help children, young people and their families be healthy and well.
