This article explores postpartum psychosis – a severe and rare psychiatric condition affecting new mothers. Unlike other perinatal mental health conditions, and given its rarity, it is proposed that health visitors' experiences and understanding of postpartum psychosis may naturally be limited. Here, the condition is described in relation to the universal health visiting support offered under the high impact area of perinatal mental health, in order that health visitors gain further insight into the condition. Specifically, the prevalence and risk are discussed and how this may affect a mother's individual experience. The article explores identification and treatment implications, and collaborative practice in relation to postpartum psychosis. Finally, it is recommended that further qualitative research around postpartum psychosis is conducted to widen the evidence base.

There are now lower numbers of health visitors than when the Health Visitor Implementation Plan was first introduced in 2011, says Bethany Boddy. Where does that leave the profession and what needs to happen to implement change?

The decline of the nursing and health visiting workforce in the community appears to be in conflict with the aims and objectives of the NHS Long Term Plan, says Crystal Oldman. Where is the workforce plan to address the problem?

Although literature has often alluded to health visitors’ professional identity, a comprehensive definition of what this was remained elusive. Health visitors’ professional identity is important and forms a framework underpinning practice. Health visitors need to know, and feel secure in, who they are and what they do in order for them to practise effectively as public health practitioners and make a positive health difference to their clients’ lives. A qualitative extended study was carried out to investigate how service changes affected health visitors’ professional identity. Twenty health visitors were interviewed over 22 months using interpretative phenomenological analysis, combined with an art-based approach. The study model comprised a literature review and the health visitors’ understanding of their identity and professional identity. This article describes how a comprehensive definition of professional identity was established; how, and in what ways, service changes affected the participants’ professional identity, along with recommendations and implications for policy and practice, will be addressed at a later date.
