Health Visitors

Health visitors are registered nurses and midwives with an additional community public health qualification. They offer support and practical advice on many aspects of child development as well as family health.

If you have a child aged 0 to 5 and you live in Bracknell, Wokingham, Reading or West Berkshire, it’s really easy to get in touch with the Health Visiting team using the ChatHealth service. You don’t need to give your name and you will be able to get confidential advice and information from us direct to your phone, about any concerns you may have about the health of your baby or child.

Just send a text message to 07312 263283.
