In our surgery, we support people with learning disabilities as best as we can. Amber, who is part of our reception/admin team, is our learning disability lead. She monitors our patients and calls them in for their review when needed. Did you know that our Learning Disability patients have a review once a year?
They will come in on their birthday month to see the Nurse and the GP.
You will get to know your doctor and nurse better. The doctor will also be able to spot any health problems sooner so that you get the treatment you need to stay well.
You can ask your doctor questions about your health and tell them how you are feeling.
You can also talk about any treatment you are having or medicine you use.
Anyone aged 14 or over who is on their doctor’s learning disability register can have a free annual health check once a year.
The Surgery will contact you to get you booked in around your birthday month.
