It is important that people with a learning disability over the age of 14 are registered on their GP Learning Disability register and has an Annual Health check.

An Annual Health Check can help you stay well by talking to a Doctor or Nurse about your health and finding any problems early, so they can be sorted.

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