Lewisham Health Visitors

Who are Health Visitors?

Health Visitors are registered nurses or midwives with a specialist qualification in public health. They work with families who have children between the ages of 0 and five.

Lewisham Health Visiting services are provided by Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust . Our Health Visitors work in five teams across the Lewisham borough.

There are six key stages in your child’s development when you will be contacted by your health visitor. These appointments will be in a mixture of locations, some contacts at home, clinic, or a virtual appointment using Attend Anywhere.

Throughout your journey with your health visiting team you will have contact with:

• Health Visitor
• Health Visitor Assistant Practitioners
• Support Workers

Some of our health visitors have undergone further training to become specialist practice teachers. This means they help to educate student health visitors. You will be informed if a student health visitor is joining the visit.

Safeguarding children is an integral part of a health visitor’s role and we work closely with our colleagues from children’s social care, GP practices and voluntary services in order to support families.

If English is not your first language, or if your hearing or vision is compromised, your health visitor has access to a pre-arranged interpreting service.

The Institute of Health Visiting have created a infographic detailing who Health Visitors are and what they do:

Sling Safety – The T.I.C.K.S Rule

Sling Safety – T.I.C.K.S Advice

Urgent Safety Alert for Baby Self Feeding Pillows

Self-feeding pillows/prop feeders present a risk of serious harm or death from choking or aspiration pneumonia.

The Office for Product Safety and Standards has issued an Urgent Safety Alert for baby self-feeding pillows and is urging the public to stop using them immediately and dispose of them safely.

Businesses selling these products must immediately remove them from the market as they cannot comply with the safety requirements under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

Baby self-feeding pillow products are designed to be attached to a bottle so that the baby may be positioned on its back to self-feed without the assistance of a caregiver holding the bottle and controlling the feed.

This is inconsistent with  NHS guidance in relation to safe bottle feeding .

When used as intended, even whilst under the supervision of a caregiver, it could lead to immediate, serious harm or death from choking or aspiration pneumonia.

Consumers, local authority trading standards services and businesses are asked to take specific action to cease use or remove these products from the market and stop using immediately.

Water Safety – Prevent Tragedies

Safer Sleep Advice in the Winter

“W e know that the colder months can be difficult for families.  You might be worried about paying your heating bills with the increase in energy prices and concerned about trying to keep your home and your baby warm.  Whilst we understand it can be tempted to wrap your baby up to keep them warm while they sleep, we know that overheating increases the chances of SIDS and research shows that it’s better for babies to be cooler rather than too hot. 

To reduce the risk of overheating, avoid using thick bedding and duvets and remove any outdoor clothing and hats when you are indoors.  During the winter months, firmly tucked in sheets and blankets (not above shoulder height) or a well-fitted baby sleep bag are fine for babies to sleep in. 

To help the Lullaby Trust  have put together some useful advice on safer sleep during the colder months. 

Keeping warm this winter – The Lullaby Trust “

Facebook post: https://www.facebook.com/LullabyTrust

They have also published a guide for parents/carers who may find themselves in emergency situations where it may not always be possible to access a recommended sleep space for baby.

The Lullaby Trust have adapted safer sleep advice based on different sleeping situations.  How-to-Follow-Safer-Sleep-Advice-in-Emergency-Situations-Resource-2022.pdf (lullabytrust.org.uk)

Flu vaccination for 2 & 3 year olds

All 2 & 3 year olds are entitled to a free flu vaccine. The flu vaccine is given as a nasal spray and protects your child against 4 main strains of influenza (flu) predicted to be in circulation this winter.

Why vaccinate? 30-50% of children are infected with flu and can spread the infection for up to 7 days; vaccinating your child reduces the risk of flu for family members, childcare providers and other children.

Contact your GP practice for your child’s free Flu vaccine!

Division of Infectious Diseases Travel Clinic

The Division of Infectious Diseases Travel Clinic is here to help you have a safer, healthier trip abroad. Our team offers pre-travel immunizations, vaccines and medications to prevent disease. We also consult on:

• Precautions to take when visiting certain countries
• Healthcare access abroad, medication schedule and other common travel-related issues
• The concerns of travelers who are pregnant, immunocompromised or have an underlying medical condition
• Managing environmental risks, including high-altitude travel
• COVID-related concerns

Information for Travelers

The following immunizations and vaccines are available at our clinic:

• COVID-19, primary and booster doses
• Hepatitis A
• Hepatitis B
• Japanese encephalitis
• Measles/mumps/rubella (MMR)
• Pneumococcus 
• Tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis (Tdap)
• Tick-borne encephalitis
• Varicella (chickenpox)
• Yellow Fever

We prescribe any medications needed for travel, including for the prevention of:

Appointment charges include professional fees (for physician consultation) and may include immunization charges. Insurance typically covers 100% of the cost of immunizations, with some exceptions.

However, we strongly recommend checking with your insurance company prior to your appointment to confirm your plan covers travel medicine.

• Immunizations for viral hepatitis, typhoid fever, meningococcal, Japanese encephalitis, etc.
• Prophylactic antibiotic therapy, such as malaria prophylaxis

Travelers should plan to seek consultation at least three weeks before departure  to ensure that all appropriate immunizations can be administered and become effective. However, patients can also be seen on shorter notice. Patients with post-travel health concerns may likewise seek consultation.

If the child or young person has an education, health and care (EHC) plan, their special educational needs caseworker will review the travel assistance being provided. They will assess whether or not the current assistance meets the individual support needs of the child or young person.
