Health

 
Everyone with a learning disability should be registered with a GP. 
 
Everyone should have a Health Action Plan which explains how your health needs can be met.
 
You should be offered a health care check on a regular basis
 
Community Nurses in the Community Teams for Learning Disability can offer advice and support about any health problems you may have.
 
We have a speech therapist in Dudley who works with people with a learning disability to make information easier for them to understand and to help them to improve their communication skills.
