"My amazing home birth & health visitor"

About: Children and Young People's Services / Health Visiting

(as a service user),

On my babies first birthday I’m reflecting on  the past year, which has brought me here to sing the praises of Amanda, our health visitor. 

I’ve had the toughest few years of my life with pregnancy sickness and a few complications post birth and honestly if it wasn’t for Amanda’s kind, caring knowledgeable care I genuinely don’t think I would have coped.

She went  above and beyond at every opportunity to advocate for me, support me with my personal physical ,mental and emotional  health when I didn’t have the energy or strength to stand up for myself and felt like I was being dismissed by doctors.  Shes so encouraging, and supportive with such a friendly demeanour - like a sister or aunt with superpowers. She’s honestly an angel, and I’m sure without her care I would have ended up hospitalised more than once!  

She’s such an asset to the community, I’ll be forever grateful for her kindness and care and I think her hard work and selflessness should be rewarded! 

Thank you Amanda for everything you do for us all, you are mighty good at it!

Dear Thankfulmum111

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience with Amanda our Health Visitor. It means so much for us to receive positive feedback about those in our care. Health Visitors are often overlooked and hidden and its so nice to have the recognition given that they deserve. I hope you and your family are well.

Kind regards

Philip
