What we do
The Integrated Specialist Public Health Nursing Service (ISPHNS) 0-19 delivers the Healthy Child Programme (HCP) ‘Pregnancy and the first five years of life’ and ‘From 5-19 years old’
Our service provides specialist health support, which starts at the point of pregnancy and continues throughout the child’s life until they reach the age of 19 or up to the age of 25 for people with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
The service is delivered by six professional teams across the East Riding of Yorkshire. These teams are comprised of specialist community public nurses (health visitors and school nurses), family nurse practitioners, breastfeeding specialists, community public health nurses, health and development practitioners, healthcare support workers and administration staff.
Our specialist public health nurses work closely with other services and settings, including community midwives, GPs, children’s centres, early years’ settings, schools, and higher education settings. We also work closely with other agencies for children with complex health needs or special educational needs and disabilities to ensure they get the services and care they need.
