About the service
The Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) is a voluntary programme for young parents. A healthy pregnancy gives babies the best possible start in life, and the relationship parents have with their babies right from the start is crucial for their future health and happiness.
Our family nurses will provide you with information and support to make decisions which:
-
Increase your chances of a healthy pregnancy
-
Help manage labour
-
Improve your child's development
-
Build a positive relationship with your baby and others
-
Help you plan for the future
-
Enable you to make lifestyle choices that will give your child the best possible start in life
-
Enable you to achieve your aspirations (such as finding a job or returning to education)
What we do
Your family nurse will visit you every one or two weeks from the start of pregnancy until your child is at least one-years-old. Home visits usually last about an hour.
You will share different ideas at each visit with your family nurse and decide together what topics to talk about. Your family nurse will help you develop new skills and make plans for a healthy, happy future for you and your baby.
