Abstract

Drawing on the Health Visitor Implementation Plan (DH, 2011a) and Educating Health Visitors for a Transformed Service (DH, 2011c), this evaluation aimed to assess the extent to which the Specialist Community Public Health Nursing Programme meets the vision of the future workforce. Across the 11 Trusts within the South West the evaluation focused on four main areas:

1. The experience of the student through the SCPHN programme and their preparedness for practice (student journey).
2. Stakeholder analysis to assess the degree to which the SCPHN programme is meeting the new service vision as outlined in the Health Visitor Implementation Plan (DH 2011a) and associated public health outcomes.
3. Family and community perspectives on the introduction of the new service provision.
4. Making recommendations to support the progression of newly qualified practitioners during the implementation of the new service model for health visiting.
