Last year, our amazing Outreach Champions ā Martin, Adam, Sue, Amanda, Amber, Lewis, Steve L, James H, Rachel and Katie ā met with Matt from National Mencap to talk about the āIām Inā campaign and the Learning Disability Register.
For many years, our members and Outreach Manager Jo have worked closely with various health professionals from all across Health such as Congenital Heart Network, Liverpool Womens Hospital, Liverpool Diabetes Partnership, SWAGGA PCN, Anfield and Everton PCN, Brownlow Health, Mersey Care Learning Disability Healthcare Facilitators on key health issues, including:
ā
Ā Diabetes
ā
Ā Dental care
ā
Ā Cervical screening
ā
Ā Breast screening
ā
Ā Ensuring every member has a Health Passport
Matt was impressed that all our members attend their annual health checks.Ā Going for your Annual Health Check is so important as it identifies any issues, screenings you need to attenda and is a full health check from your head to your toes and creates your Health Action Plan.
Some of our members have also been delivering Learning Disability Awareness Training to 4th Year Student Doctors at the University of Liverpool for over 12 years, and more recently, 7 of our members have qualified as Oliver McGowan Level 2 Expert by Experience Co-Trainers.
Our members have been champions in highlighting health inequalities for people with learning disabilities for many years, and we are proud to support the āIām Inā campaign.
