New Birth Review Guidelines - 0-19 Children’s Services (G207)
This Best Practice Guidance gives clear guidance on the minimum standard expected of Specialist Community Public Health Nurses (Health Visitors) when delivering the New Birth Review. It outlines the goal and essential components of the New Birth Review offered to all families in Derbyshire when their baby is 10-14 days old. This document also supports a commitment to ensure evidence-based tools and training are embedded within practice, supporting the national commissioning for outcomes recommendations, and offering assurance that the service is focused on personalised and needs based care.
