Health Visiting Teams

The Right Start Service is offered to all families with children living in Oldham, from pregnancy to five years old. 

Our team includes Health Visitors who are qualified nurses with additional training, assistant practitioners, early years education support and Special Educational Needs and Disability Practitioners.

As part of the Healthy Child Programme, you and your child will be offered contacts at home, in Children's Centres and at other community locations.

To contact a health visitor, please contact your local children centre. Your query will be directed to the appropriate practitioner from any Children Centre you contact. 

For information about your child’s health and development please visit our Birth to Five page

Routine Health Visiting contacts include:

  • Pre Birth (Antenatal) Visit
  • Birth Visit – usually within 10-14 days of your baby’s birth
  • 6-8 week visit
  • 9-12 month development review

Other contacts include:
