Welcome to our iHV professional resources. In this section, you will find a wealth of resources across a wide range of topic areas to support your practice. These include:
- Good Practice Points (GPPs): Developed in collaboration with topic experts, health visitors, and other professionals, our GPPs draw on the latest available evidence at the time of publication. Each one is produced through a robust quality assurance process and peer reviewed to ensure accuracy, relevance, and strong alignment with health visiting practice.
- Insights Webinars: Our regular one‑hour webinars provide easily accessible CPD opportunities and the chance to learn from leading experts in their field. Access all recordings here and find out about upcoming iHV Insights events here.
- Podcasts: Explore conversations and insights from specialists and practitioners across the health visiting landscape.
- Links to External Resources: Key external resources selected by the iHV to support learning, development and best practice.
Don’t forget to visit our Family Hub for our parent resources including Parent Tips (PTs) and iHV short films for parents/carers on selected topics.

The iHV does not authorise the direct placement iHV-produced materials on secondary websites hosted by external organisations or bodies. Our resources may include references or links to external organisations. This does not imply endorsement by the iHV of those organisations, their content, or their materials.
The iHV has adopted an additive approach to language. This approach preserves woman-/man-centred language while also including terms for those who identify in other ways. Families are diverse, and we aim to ensure that everyone feels represented and included. To maintain both clarity and inclusivity, sex-specific terminology will be used when referencing research that relates to biological sex.
