Community Practitioners and Health Visitors Association
The Community Practitioners and Health Visitors Association (CPHVA) is a Trade union and professional association for health care staff in the UK and Ireland. It is part of Unite the Union.
Its 18,500 members include health visitors, school nurses, nursery nurses and other community nurses working in primary care. It produces a monthly journal Community Practitioner, which contains both news and scholarly articles.
Obi Amadi, the lead professional officer, featured in a list of leading BME staff in the NHS compiled by the Health Service Journal in November 2014 and was praised for her involvement in the campaign to end female genital mutilation.
The association organises annual awards for practitioners: Community Nursery Nurse of the Year; National School Nurse of the Year; It has a fund, the MacQueen Travel Bursary for Public Health Activity Abroad to assist members to broaden their experience. Student of the Year
Health visitors were involved with Women's suffrage. The colours of the CPHVA's logo are still mauve and green.
The archives of the organisation from 1902 to 1984, when Jane Wyndham-Kaye retired as General Secretary, are held in the Wellcome Collection.
It is concerned about the wider determinants of health as well as the prospects for its members.
The association is concerned about changes to the commissioning of community services for children, which will be transferred to local councils in October 2015, as commissioning of school nursing was in April 2013.
