The Health Facilitation Team are a team of nurses and nurse associates who are specialised in facilitating health care for people with learning disabilities of all ages.

The Health Facilitation Team will provide specialist advice and support to both people with a learning disability and to health services in order to reduce the health inequalities and premature mortality that people with a learning disability face.

The team will have a key role in enabling people to access mainstream health services to meet their health needs with a particular focus on annual health checks and health action plans.

The health team use and promote an app called Medii which focuses on empowering individuals with learning disabilities and autism, caregivers and the NHS with the tools they need to prioritise their health and well-being. The app is available by referral from your GP or Nurse. Please book a routine appointment if you wish to discuss this further.
