Healthy Child Programme Model of Practice for Health Visitors course
This session forms the first stage of providing the health visitor profession with a model of practice that you and families can use to guide your work together on the Healthy Child Programme. It will help you to structure and reflect upon your use of the HCP with families. The model of practice will also help to explain your work to other professionals, services and commissioners.
This session covers the universal aspects of the HCP and does not look at practice with families with complex needs where the process of helping people to change is more intensive. This model of practice was co-produced with health visitors and is derived from the Family Partnership Model (Day et al, 2015) and experience of FNP.
Learning objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Explain how the five components of this model of practice for health visitors apply to your Healthy Child Programme work
- Identify the connections between this model and the science and craft of health visitor practice
- Identify three aspects of your current practice that are consistent with or challenged by this model of practice
- Identify three ways in which this model could extend your practice in delivering the Healthy Child Programme
This session aims to help you to understand and reflect on a proposed model of practice to underpin the HCP. You may find it helpful to work through it with others in your HCP or HV team.
Before commencing this session you should complete the following HCP session
