FREE online training for
Unite/CPHVA members!
We're trying something new! Do you want to be involved?
We know it's difficult for our members to get time away from
practice to attend training so we want to bring the training to
you! You'll still need the time to get in front of a computer and
have a phone handy (still difficult I know) but hopefully it'll
make it a bit easier to join in. We are trialling online training
and have set up 3 sessions for you to book on to. It's free if
you're a member so click here to see
which sessions we've got lined up
Celebrating 150 years in public health
In 2012, health visitors celebrate 150 years of the profession
since the first health visitors (or Sanitary Inspectors as they
were known in 1862) first started work in Salford, Greater
Manchester. Throughout 2012, Unite/CPHVA will be celebrating this
anniversary and we'll be updating the website with activities,
information and available promotional material
