Annual health checks

Overview

Annual Health Checks are for children and adults aged 14 and over who are on their General Practitioner's (GP) learning disability register.  

An annual health check helps you stay well by talking about your health and finding any problems early, so you get the right care. 

You do not have to be ill to have a health check - in fact, most people have their annual health check when they're feeling well. 

If you're worried about seeing a doctor, or there's anything they can do to make your visit better, let the doctor or nurse know. They'll help make sure it goes well for you.
