Learning Disabilities Health Check

People with learning disabilities have poorer physical and mental health than other people and die younger. Many of these deaths are avoidable and not inevitable. Doing annual health checks can identify undetected health conditions early, ensure the appropriateness of ongoing treatments and establish trust and continuity of care.

The practice will normally contact you for an annual health check. However, if you would like to book an appointment, please contact Reception. You will be asked to complete a health assessment questionnaire prior to the appointment.
