Purpose: The service delivers the Healthy Child Programme, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) national delivery model for public health nursing. It is led by specialist community public health nurses and structured around two age-based phases, health visiting for ages 0 to 5 and school nursing for ages 5 to 19. The aims of the programme are to: ? ensure a healthy start to life. ? identify and address health needs early. ? prevent health problems. ? support school readiness and learning. ? protect children and families. ? promote health equity.

It will also help us to further understand the market.

We are therefore seeking expressions of interest from participants with the relevant expertise and experience to assist us in determining the feasibility of this project by answering the questions in the attached documentation.
