There are some things that you can do before and after meeting the learning disability team.

Your annual health check

	Make an appointment with your GP for a health check. This is done once a year.
	The health check will make sure you are healthy. It is your right to have a health check.
	Take your health action plan with you. A plan to keep you healthy should be written in the health action plan.

 

Your health action plan

	A health action plan is a personal plan about what you need to do to stay healthy. Take your health action plan to your GP and all your health appointments.
	It allows you to control your own health – this means you have the responsibility for your health. You and other people in your life will help to make your health action plan and make sure that it happens.
