A nurse-led minor illness and injury home-visiting service for young children.
This article outlines an initiative to deliver a nurse-led home-visiting service to support families and develop their knowledge and skills in managing unwell or injured children. The service has reduced unnecessary A&E attendances and has provided extra support for families with children aged 0-5 years in one of the country's most deprived areas.
