If you have a learning disability you can get extra support when you visit your doctor.
Ask your doctor to add your name to the learning disability register. You may be able to get a free annual health check from your doctor.
Annual health checks are for adults and young people aged 14 or over with a learning disability.
An annual health check helps you stay well by talking about your health with your doctor and finding any problems early on. This means you get the right care.
