At People First Merseyside we have been asked by NHS England to produce an easy read accessible booklet to help people with learning disabilities understand about Learning Disability Annual Health Checks and their right to have one.

We have been putting together lots of information and yesterday our members told us what they thought of the information and gave us some ideas about how to make it accessible.

The next stage of the process will be to add pictures to the booklet. We will also be adding a card that people with learning disabilities can take to their doctor to ask for a Learning Disability Annual Health Check themselves

Phil said “Very important zoom meeting this afternoon, and probably an opportunity to alter our booklet/booklets to get the right wording into the book, well done guys.”
