Individuals with learning disabilities often require tailored healthcare to ensure their physical and mental well-being is properly managed. At LMGP we provide regular reviews and annual health checks for patients with learning disabilities to help monitor their health, manage existing conditions, and identify any new health concerns.
What We Offer
Our healthcare team conducts comprehensive health reviews for individuals with learning disabilities, ensuring they receive the appropriate care and support.
Services include:
- Annual Health Checks: A thorough review of physical health, including monitoring for conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic illnesses that are more common in individuals with learning disabilities.
- Personalized Health Plans: We work closely with patients and their families to create a personalized health plan that addresses specific needs, ensuring that any necessary adjustments or interventions are made.
- Specialist Referrals: If additional support or specialist care is required, we provide timely referrals to other healthcare professionals and services, including speech therapy, physiotherapy, or mental health services.
- Support and Advice: We offer ongoing support and guidance to both patients and their families to manage health concerns, prevent complications, and promote overall well-being.
