Annual Health Checks
Learning Disability Annual Health Checks are vital for young people aged 14+ and adults with learning disabilities as statistics show they have significantly poorer health than their non-disabled peers.
Evidence suggests annual health checks are an effective way to identify previously unrecognised health needs.
Concerns are that some people on their GP’s Learning Disability register have not had their annual health check in the last 12 months.
Benefits of the LD Health Check:
• Young people and their parents/carers will get to know their doctor or nurse better and feel confident going to the surgery.
• Any reasonable adjustments necessary can be recorded on the summary care record
• The doctor or nurse will be able to spot any health problems sooner and provide treatment quicker.
NHS England » Annual health checks
• Young people and their parents/carers can ask questions about their health and tell their doctor or nurse how they are feeling.
EHCP Annual Review Feedback
At least once a year there will be a meeting to talk about your child’s progress and his or her EHCP. This is called a review.
At the meeting, we will:
- Check that your child is making progress
- Set targets for the coming year
- Check to see if he or she still needs the same plan or whether it should be changed.
Your child’s school or setting will arrange the meeting.
