In Esbjerg Municipality's health visitor service, we have a daily manager, a secretary, and 31 health visitors divided into three teams.

The core task of the Health Visitor Service in Esbjerg Municipality is to promote a healthy and positive childhood within the family and the relationships in which the child is growing up.

Based on healthcare assessments and with a focus on early intervention, relational work, as well as health promotion and prevention, we aim to strengthen the coping abilities of children, youth, and families.

As a health visitor, we have a basic education as a nurse and a minimum of three years of professional experience in at least two departments. This may include departments such as pediatric, neonatal, child psychiatry, and/or home care.

The specialized education to become a health visitor is approximately 1.5 years in duration and consists of a combination of classroom instruction and practical training.

Health visitors always carry portable computers for journaling during home visits and school meetings.

During interdisciplinary meetings in which the health visitor participates, there is also an obligation to add a note to the child's electronic journal.

Parents are informed about what is written in the journal and can always request to receive their child's journal through Digital Post from their own health visitor.

Confidentiality and Complaints Procedure
According to the Health Law, we have a duty of confidentiality. This means that the health visitor cannot disclose information without the consent of the parents.

If you are dissatisfied with the guidance and advice provided by the Health Visitor Service, you should contact the manager of the Health Visitor Service.
