The UK’s healthcare services are working under immense pressure and are doing everything possible to keep you and your family safe. Therefore, the visits you might have expected could be rescheduled, cancelled or conducted virtually. Currently, Health Visitors are still operating and visiting parents with newborns. You should still have your New Birth Visit 10 to 14 days after the birth of your baby. You should receive a telephone call to book a home visit with your Health Visitor where you can discuss how you and your baby are, share information you may need and plan together how they can support you and your family. Your Health Visitor will book your 6-to-8-week appointment.
