Learning Disabilities Check

People with learning disabilities often have poorer physical and mental health than other people. This doesn’t need to be the case.

The annual health check scheme is for adults and young people aged 14 or above with learning disabilities, who need more health support and who may otherwise have health conditions that go undetected.

Who will get an annual health check?

People aged 14 and over who have been assessed as having moderate, severe or profound learning disabilities, or people with a mild learning disability who have other complex health needs, are entitled to a free annual health check.

How do you get an annual health check?

Adults and young people aged 14 or above with learning disabilities who are registered with the practice, will be invited to come for an annual health check.

Not received an invite? Please speak to a receptionist about how to make an appointment.
