Integrated Specialist Public Health Nursing Service (ISPHNS)

The ISPHNS teams deliver a variety of services across the East Riding.

The Team

The Integrated Specialist Public Health Nursing Service (ISPHNS) 0-19 (25) delivers the Healthy Child Programme ‘Pregnancy and the first five years of life’ and ‘From 5-19 years old’. Our teams also provide Public Health Nursing Services for children and young people aged minus 9 months to 19 (25) years of age and their families.

The service is delivered by six professional teams across the East Riding. These teams are comprised of specialist community public nurses, family nurse practitioners, breast feeding specialists, public health nurses, nursery nurses and health care assistants. Our specialist public health nurses work closely with other services and settings, including community midwives, GPs, children’s centres, early years’ settings, schools and higher education settings. We also work closely with other agencies for children with complex health needs or special educational needs and disabilities to ensure they get the services and care they need.

From the start of your pregnancy through to your child entering school age, the team offer all families support and advice. The ISPHN Service aims to empower families to make informed and positive decisions about health. Please contact our teams if you would like support or information regarding feeding, sleeping, toileting and behaviour, as well as any issues relating to your own emotional health and parenting.
