Learning Disabilities Support

The surgery holds a register of patients with a learning disability.

Anyone on the register over the age of 14 will be offered an annual learning disability health check. This is an appointment which helps you to stay healthy and to pick up any medical problems you may have at an early stage.

You may have more than one appointment – to see one of our nursing team to check your height, weight and blood pressure – or may just see a clinician to talk about your health.

If you think you should be on this register then please contact the surgery and we can check for you and add your name to the register if appropriate.

My Health Questions

Prior to the annual learning disability health check, we would like our patients or their carers to complete the 'my health questions' which you can download and print for the clinician.
