Anyone who works at a Coventry & Warwickshire GP practice is welcome to attend this Learning Disability Awareness session.

These sessions will take place via Microsoft Teams and will be delivered by Learning Disability Nurses in the Community Learning Disability Team, which is part of the Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust.

These sessions also took place towards the end of 2022 and they were well received by those in attendance.

  • What is a learning disability?
  • The importance of delivering high quality Annual Health Checks (incl. Health Action Plans)
  • Making Reasonable Adjustments for someone with a learning disability
