Parental Information
We hope to be able to give everyone a place on the programme, however, if the programme is full you will be supported by other services and your midwife will help with this.
It’s all voluntary and if there is something you don’t want to talk about in a meeting just let your family nurse know.
Together you will decide what to cover in each visit and your family nurse is always available to talk through any concerns you have in-between visits.
Dads or partners are welcome to join in if the mum would like them to.
You don’t have to be in a relationship for dads to attend.
