"How will I know if my weight is okay?"

About: Gedling Children's Centre

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

As a first time mum, I am disappointed that I can no longer speak to a health visitor unless I book an appointment. I now have to queue for over 20 minutes to weigh my child. how will I know if my weight is okay?

Thank you for making us aware of you current concerns about the time you had to wait to weigh your baby at the new self weighing service at First Friends Group. I have discussed this with the Service Manager for Children and Young People and Children's Centre staff and in response to your comments we will be introducing three sets of weighing scales at Richard Herrod First Friends Group as from Friday 13th January 2017 which hopefully will reduce and ease future waiting times. We will continue to monitor and review the impact of providing extra scales on waiting times and if further changes are required we will endeavour to continue to support families appropriately.

Should you need advice or information from a Health Visitor they are still available to support you and your child by telephoning 0115 9935582. Information leaflets about changes to the delivery of child health sessions and appointment led sessions with a Health Visitor are available at our signing in desk at Richard Herrod.

Thank you Glenis Children's Centre Co-ordinator
