Health visiting and Burwell fire station partnership

On Tuesday 15 September, the south locality health visiting team and estates colleagues were kindly hosted by the team at Burwell fire station for an induction visit to their site.

Burwell fire station serves the East Cambridgeshire district and operates one fire engine crewed by dedicated on-call firefighters who provide an invaluable service to the local community.

This visit celebrated the fantastic collaboration that has developed between our services. Burwell fire station has generously provided accommodation within their building for the health visiting team to support local families. The space will start being used from October, three days per week to deliver 1 and 2-year child health and development reviews, offering families a convenient and welcoming location to access these important services.

A sign on the wall reads “Burwell Community Fire and Rescue Station” with the Cambridgeshire Fire & Rescue Service logo. The group faces the camera in bright daylight, with the fire station building and vehicle forming the background.

The venue may also be used for antenatal appointments, enabling health visitors to meet expectant parents, introduce the service, and discuss the support available to them as they prepare for parenthood and the arrival of their baby.

In addition, the facility provides a valuable community base for Health Visiting colleagues, allowing them to hot-desk, complete clinical documentation, and work efficiently between community visits.

This partnership demonstrates the benefits of collaborative working across public services, helping us to make the best use of local facilities while improving accessibility and convenience for the communities we serve.
