Looking after our community and providing excellent care

COVID-19: Changes to the way we deliver our Health Visiting Service 16 April

In line with guidance from Scottish Government to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 (coronavirus) and to protect and safeguard patients and staff we are making changes to the ways in which we deliver our Health Visiting Service.

The Health Visiting teams are still available for advice and support for your family - albeit through some different ways of working.

You may still be offered a home visit in certain situations and your Health Visitor will be in touch about this.

Other visits may be offered through telephone or by Near Me video conferencing.

We are available 9am -5pm Monday to Friday so please reach out through telephone or email if you need advice or support.

Our contact details should be in your child's Red Book and are as follows:

Kirkwall Health Visitors: 888115 Orkney.olahealthvisitors@nhs.net

West Mainland Visitors 771150 orkney.healthvisitorsdounby@nhs.net

Stromness Health Visitors 851760 orkney.stromnesshealthvisitors@nhs.net
