The professional practice of health visiting consists of planned activities aimed at improving the physical, mental, emotional and social health and wellbeing of the population, preventing disease and reducing inequalities in health. Its overall purpose is to improve health and social wellbeing through identifying health needs, raising awareness of health and social wellbeing, influencing the broader context that affects health and social wellbeing, and enabling and empowering people to improve their own health. The health visiting contribution to public health takes account of the different dynamics and needs of individuals, families and groups, and the community as a whole.
The health visiting process is achieved through a focus on four clear principles, which are:
● The search for health needs
● The stimulation of an awareness of health needs
● The influence on policies affecting health
● The facilitation of an awareness of health needs
Health visitors provide a proactive service, concerned with identifying and fulfilling self-declared and recognised as well as unrecognised health needs of individuals, families and social groups. Health visiting is distinguished by the emphasis that it places on the proactive search for health needs, rather than only responding to the demand for care; on primary prevention and promotion, not just treatment; its focus on people as members of groups, families and communities; and its concern with the health of populations as well as individuals.
Health visiting practice takes place in a variety of settings, particularly in people’s homes, but also in communities, for example, neighbourhoods, housing estates and villages, and in institutions, such as schools, prisons and healthcare organisations and, in collaboration with others, extends to settings such as healthy cities, towns or areas. Health visitors work particularly with infants and children and their families, but also with young people and those of working age, with the retired population and older people, and vulnerable groups of any age.},

abstract = {As an occupation, nursing is perceived by some as an emergent profession and by others as a managed service. For the former group, the key to quality improvement in nursing is to develop and promote that professionalism. For the latter group, the success of nursing as an occupation depends on its ability to colonise senior positions within the management hierarchy of health services. This text takes a fresh view on the debate at the heart of nursing. It considers the future for nursing within health care and social care and how it needs to adjust to its changing status and power in the context of social and health policy.
The book is organised into four sections. The first sets forth an ideal vision of nursing as a profession with caring as its core feature. The second section outlines threats to nursing as a caring profession posed by a managerial agenda within health care and social care services. The third and fourth sections reconsider the ideals and realities of professional nursing in the context of managerialism and the changing culture of health care provision.
This book makes a major contribution to current thinking about the nature of nursing as an occupation and its relevance and particular contribution to human well being. It should find a wide and appreciative audience among nurses and students, as well as other health care and social care professionals, and those involved in health service planning.},
