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


150 years logoCelebrating 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

New Health Visiting Timeline: You can have a look at the history of the profession here. You'll need to zoom in to read the text! We'll be updating this document as we do more research. If you have any comments or want to add a moment in time, get in touch with dave.munday@unitetheunion.org.

Don't forget to have a look at our CPHVA Facebook page (www.facebook.com/CPHVA) which has some imagines from the last 150 years!
