This paper provides an outline of a return to practice health visiting scheme piloted by Leicestershire County and Rutland Community Health Services (LCRCHS).The scheme aimed to encourage and provide a route for health visitors whose NMC registration had lapsed back into the profession. Through partnership working between LCRCHS and the University of Northampton, the scheme has proven successful in recruiting health visitors who bring with them experience and maturity, and who are enthusiastic in embracing changes within the NHS and in health visiting practice.
