Looking at the practical aspects of health visiting, this book examines such topics as antenatal visiting, work with the elderly and child abuse. This second edition discusses the work of health visitors in relation to homeless families and suggests future developments in the field. Inner cities, recent immigrants and ethnic minorities are explored in terms of recent developments in health visiting and new management approaches are outlined. There are four new chapters which present a community viewpoint and look at some innovations in the work. About half of each new chapter is given over to real-life examples which describe the work of currently practising health visitors. These provide a practical and easily understood basis from which to study the various themes. The three main frameworks continue as the underlying theme and have been developed to accommodate a wider perspective. Further reading lists have been added to most of the chapters.
