The core programme is the Healthy Child Programme:

We can deliver FNP in this country The materials work in this country It seems to be acceptable to clients We seem to be reaching those who benefit most Fathers are involved The nurses are highly committed The clients value their nurses The training is highly valued Early impacts look promising But it is difficult work and we have long way to go………

Progressive model Group-based Disadvantaged non-FNP clients Antenatal and up to 1 year postnatal, following FNP approach Early testing 09/10

Father involvement high

Young fathers show high levels of interest in FNP, and many want to be present for visits or complete the activities Out of 7500 visits, father present for 1820 visits 49% of clients, father present for at least one visit, most commonly for one to two thirds of visits
