Annual health checks

Annual health checks are for people aged 14 and over who have a Learning Disability. A health check once a year gives people time to talk about anything that is worrying them and means they can get used to going to visit the doctor.

Find out more about annual health checks on the NHS England website. This includes information on who’s eligible, how it will help, how to get an appointment, and what happens during the health check. You can also read this leaflet about annual health checks for young people with learning disabilities.

LeDeR programme

The LeDeR programme (learning from the lives and deaths of people with learning disabilities and autism) was established in 2017 to support local areas across England to review the deaths of people with a learning disability, to learn from those deaths and to put that learning into practice.
