Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Thanks for that , lots of echoes for me in what you are highlighting from practice. Lets hope the CPHVA as an organisation take it all forward forcefully in light of nursery nurses now being welcomed into the fold and the reducing numbers of HV's. I have been very impressed with NNEB input on both my research sites. One of the NNEB trained community development workers in one of my research sites highlighted that she didn't know about being able to join the CPHVA and she was very interested in what CPHVA membership could offer her, I am lately wondering what it is offering me. I know that I am for the Sure Start model of community development, I am for direct entry health visiting, I have seen the benefits of a multi-agency approach and the difference that you can make to clients in altering access to services. I was thinking if the CPHVA have a listening government ear I think I would like them to shout and not whisper, the longer this government is in power the deafer it becomes to the needs of health visiting among other things. Rather annoyingly I am on a three-line whip for Sure Start so now cant get to Hertfordshire next week after making great efforts to keep the date clear so I hope someone else will raise my points and thanks for the encouragement. Sometimes when you post something on Senate you think you are a quiet lone voice and folk aren't really bothered about the issues and you think I wonder why I am getting 'het up over this' and is Mark breaking down the door of government on my behalf as a CPHVA member - like I think he should be and anyway it is such a complex issue who can really blame anyone for not getting up in arms because it is all such a mess and where would you start with it. So and Gill thanks for the cheers, it makes me feel less like a lone demented voice in the wilderness. Message: 3 Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2004 15:27:40 EST From: sandmgraves@... Subject: Re: Digest Number 1123 I would like to add my support for 's paper and indeed the suggestions also made by Gill. In Southern Norfolk PCT we are trying to write a strategy for Health Visiting. We are using the support of our Public Health Director as he has the vision that HV teams are well equipped to deliver the PH agenda. I must also say that the Nursery Nurses we have in our PCT are inspirational. They have grasped the Public Health Agenda (without the boundaries of a nursing/medical model behind their training) and are running with it. We have SureStart in the area i work in and have a Lactation Consultant working in our HV team and we work very closely with the Parent Inclusion Workers. I wholeheartedly agree with Gill/ that we need to ensure these people are given the opportunity to develop their careers. We will lose them if we don't encourage and use them appropriately.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 , I'm with you all the way, as I'm sure most of Senate members are. What worries me if my experience of talking to HVs I work with is anything to go on, the hundreds of HVs out there who are not members of Senate haven't a clue what's going on.
