Best Start in Life, a shared priority across the Midlands and a multi-partner regional network supported by OHID, has just completed a focused piece of work on the region’s Health Visiting service. We held three workshops for commissioners, service providers and Local Authority children’s services to identify the key challenges for the service; and a summit to work through key programmes of work for action.
