Anyone aged 14 or over who is on their doctor's learning disability register can have a free annual health check once a year.

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 out. 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.

You can check if you or the person you care for is on the register by contacting your doctor's practice.

For more information on Annual Health Checks please go to our Learning Disability Annual
Health Check Page: Learning Disability Annual Health Checks

If you are a professional working in BSW and would like more information on Learning
Disability Annual Health Checks please go to our Professional page: Learning Disability Annual Health Checks - Guidance for Professionals
