Learning Disability Primary Care Liaison Team
Dedicated nurses helping people with learning disabilities access healthcare and GP services.
We understand that healthcare can be stressful, and we are dedicated to making sure your voice is heard and your needs are met.
About this service
Attending healthcare appointments can be a source of anxiety for many people with learning disabilities, but this dedicated team works to make the process much smoother and more accessible. By bridging the gap between patients and GP surgeries, they ensure that reasonable adjustments are made to suit your individual needs. This might include longer appointment times, easy-read health information, or simply a quieter environment to wait in. Their goal is to ensure everyone receives equal access to life-saving screenings and annual health checks in a way that feels safe, supportive, and completely respectful of personal preferences.
