  Pathway 1 - Healthy Pregnancy Pathway

  This session includes an interactive pathway which provides guidance for local commissioners and service providers on the delivery of prevention interventions to promote healthy pregnancy. More specifically, it includes guidance on intervention and support at every level of need (community, universal, targeted and specialist) from preconception to six to eight weeks post-partum.  The session also provides links to related wider guidance and useful tools, and outlines recommendations for the development of an effective local offer.

• Pathway 3 - Healthy Child Programme Schedule of interventions

  Pathway 3 - Healthy Child Programme Schedule of interventions

  The Healthy Child Programme is the national public health framework for babies, children and young people.

   

  These schedules bring together evidence, guidance, information and resources to describe local prevention and early intervention activities from preconception to adulthood. It includes information about preconception care, promoting child development, improving child health outcomes, and ensuring that families at risk are identified at the earliest opportunity.

  Local authorities, the NHS and other partners can use the tool to inform the commissioning and provision of good quality services for children, young people and families. It is divided by different age groups and into 4 sections covering:

  • universal – interventions which all children, young people and families should be offered
  • targeted – interventions which focus on meeting the needs of specific subgroups in the population to reduce inequalities and disparities
  • specialist – interventions which focus on the individual needs of vulnerable children including those with clinical needs, a statutory entitlement to care and support or wider determinants of health, disparities and other factors which can lead to poorer outcomes
  • community – interventions which support the health and wellbeing of children, young people, and families as members of the wider population
