FNP logo.pngWhat we do

We offer 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. The Family Nurse Partnership uses methods on attachment, relationships and becoming independent. Your family nurse will build a trusting and supportive relationship with you and your family and if you decide to join you will be allocated a Family Nurse who works with you. Together you will decide what to cover in each visit to help you achieve your goals and become the best parent you can be.

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:

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.

Dads or partners are welcome to join in if the mum would like them to.
