What My Health Check Should Include:
We like this resource because:
- It gives disabled people an idea of what to expect during their health checks which can relieve certain anxieties.
- It ensures young people are aware of the services they should be receiving and are entitled to.
- It informs the young person of what they should bring with them so they can prepare and be organised for their appointment.
GP Appointments
We like this resource because:
- It provides extremely useful information about GP appointments and health checks.
- It is all in one easy-read document meaning people do not have to research and find different resources to answer these questions.
- It answers questions young people may not have even thought of which allows them to be able to get all information they could need.
