"My health visitor"

About: Children and Young People Services / Health Visiting

(as the patient),

I just want to share my story about my amazing health visitor Claire.  I met her when I was 18 years old when I was pregnant.  I am now 20 and my child  is nearly 2 which means my journey with Claire is coming to an end in January.

Claire is an amazing women. She is kind generous and so so caring.  From the minute I met Claire I knew I would build a great relationship with her.  She has been there for me through very bad times and good times.  After I had my child I had it very hard as I was in a lot of pain.  One morning when Claire called I cried to her as I was so sore and my GP wouldn't see me. Claire then got me seen quickly at the hospital by ringing them and explaining my situation.

She also has helped me a lot when I found out my child had a cows milk allergy. I was a young mum not knowing what to do.  Claire guided me and helped me in every way she could! She always praises me telling me how much of a good mum I am and telling me how well I'm doing! I'm going to be devastated when I don't see Claire daily but I know she'll always be there for me as that's what type of women she is! Claire deserves praise for what she does! Because she's definitely way more than just a health visitor to me.  I wish her all the best with her career I wouldn't have came this far without her!!!!
