The Strategic Health Facilitators work with GP surgeries to ensure:
- There is a Learning Disability Champion in each practice,
- The surgery is person centred,
- Reasonable adjustments are offered as appropriate,
- Good quality Learning Disability Annual Health Checks are offered,
- And service users have a Health Check Action Plan in place after their Annual Health Check.
Once a surgery or PCN has been signed off as Learning Disability Friendly, we are able to award them a certificate, a Learning Disability Friendly Logo to advertise on their website and in the practice, as well as access to our Champion’s Network.
