Family nurse partnership

What we do

We are a voluntary programme for young first time mothers (and their partners). Our specially-trained nurses provide regular home visits, from early pregnancy and can work with you up until your child is aged two. FNP uses methods on attachment, relationships and becoming independent. Your family nurse will build a trusting and supportive relationship with you and your family, they will guide you so that you will be able to adopt healthier lifestyles for yourself and your baby, provide good care for your baby and toddler, and plan your future.

Your family nurse will help you:

• increase your chances of a healthy pregnancy
• improve your child's development
• build a positive relationship with your baby and others
• plan for the future
• make lifestyle choices that gives your child the best possible start in life
• achieve your aspirations such as finding a job or returning to education

Please contact us or your midwife if:

• You are 19 years old or under and under 28 weeks pregnant
• You live in Warwickshire
• You would like to have the opportunity to have a family nurse to help you have a healthy pregnancy and be the best mum you can

If you would like to join the Family Nurse Partnership:

• If you live in South Warwickshire or Rugby, please contact Family Nurse Supervisor on tel: +44(0)1926 400001 ext 231 or tel: +44(0)7808 763319
• If you live in North Warwickshire, please contact Family Nurse Supervisor on tel: +44(0)2476 491138 or +44 (0)1675 461966 or tel: +44(0)7808763322

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 visit 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.
