This session describes the Personal Child Health Record (PCHR), a key component of the Healthy Child Programme and follows on from the sessions on communication, record keeping and multi-agency working (Fig 1).
It is aimed at all health professionals who have contact with young children, including midwives, health visitors and other members of the health visiting team, GPs, community and hospital paediatricians, practice nurses, school nurses, children's centre staff, speech and language therapists and dentists.
The session aims to help health professionals consider how the PCHR can be used to support the elements of the Healthy Child Programme. The session includes a number of exercises to promote learning and reflection.
