Sarah Cowley: A funding model for health visiting (part 2): impact and implementation. In: Community Practitioner: The Journal of the Community Practitioners' & Health Visitors' Association, vol. 80, no. 12, pp. 24–31, 2007, ISSN: 1462-2815.

Abstract

This is the second of two papers offering the information required to work out how to fund a health visiting service. The first paper gave the basic requirements, while this one identifies and explains the separate components of the service along with issues of scope and skillmix. In this way, it starts to describe the programmes embedded within a generic health visiting service, which is helpful in terms of what might be expected in terms of impact and outcomes. These are described with reference to the new Public Service Agreement targets and other relevant policy.
