Mencap’s Don’t miss out campaign – information to help you get better health care

Going to the doctor is not always easy if you have a learning disability.

If you join the learning disability register you can get extra support when you visit your doctor, including making an appointment.

Support to understand your doctor and your information.

More time to talk about how you are feeling.

You may also be able to have an Annual Health Check.
