A career in health visiting offers vast potential for improving the population's health

I HAVE ALWAYS been passionate about health visiting. My first experiences as a student nurse in the mid-1980s left an indelible impression. Each day presented a new challenge and unforeseen health visiting activity. The potential for improving the population's health was enormous and I wanted to be a part of that.
