The First Project - Building Blocks
A programme of home visits by specially trained nurses (called the Family Nurse Partnership or FNP) aims to support young mums expecting their first child. The programme was compared to usual health and social care in a study involving 18 English centres and followed children until they were two years old.
The Second Project - Building Blocks: 2-6
This research project will follow up these same individuals until that child turned seven. It looked only at routinely collected health and education data—this is information that the GP, hospital and school collect when looking after people. The study looked at this information to explore the long-term effects of extra home visits from family nurses versus the services currently available to families in England.
