NHS Tayside services are the first in Scotland to maintain a UNICEF Gold award. The authority’s Health Visiting and Family Nurse Partnership services were reaccredited four years after becoming the first in Scotland to achieve the prestigious award.
The UNICEF UK Baby Friendly Initiative is based on a set of standards for maternity, health visiting, neonatal and children’s centre services.
These are designed to provide parents with the best possible care to build close and loving relationships with their baby and to feed their baby in ways which will support their health and development.
