The Doncaster Health Visitors Facebook page was launched nearly 2 years ago and has gone from strength to strength. Health visitors, nursery nurses and a volunteer keep the pages up-to-date with health information, local updates on groups and activities, top tips from parents and ideas for encouraging play and development.
The newly launched private messaging service is manned Monday to Friday between 8am and 6pm – meaning parents can ask a question and get a response quickly and easily. Parents have said that social media is a great way for them to interact with the service and share their parenting experiences.
