With the advent primary care groups (DoH, 1998b), genuine collaboration and partnership-forging is necessary and timely to prevent people with learning disabilities being excluded from healthcare services. The project described in the article had three broad aims: first, to establish a practice register of people with learning disabilities in all practices involved in the project; second, to enable practice nurses (PNs), with support, to carry out a systematic health check within the practice of people with learning disabilities; and third, to enable the project nurse to act as a crucial link between SpLDS and the PHCT. The health checks highlighted unmet health and social needs, which were then met through appropriate referral and intervention, mainly to specialist services. Follow ups were conducted to measure any health gain as a result of the applied interventions. Evidence of health gain was revealed, painting to the clinical effectiveness of performing such checks within the PHCTs. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
