Learning difficulties

  • Learning Disability Annual Reviews

    Learning Disability Annual Reviews are important. We would like to offer these reviews to all patients over 14 with a learning disability. Usually they will be done in the surgery, by one of our nurses.

    Dr Jarvis & Dr Quentin will help to answer questions and manage problems that the nurses cannot. Visits can be arranged for people who really can’t come into surgery.

    It is helpful for the pre-health check questionnaire (PDF) to be completed beforehand and brought to the appointment. 
    We will create a Health Action Plan and send it to you after the appointment.

    Reasonable Adjustments
    If you need special arrangements to be made (such as particular times for your carer to come too, or a quieter waiting space) please do tell us.

    Learning Disability Team
    Dr Iain Jarvis, Dr Laura Quentin, Frankie Andango, Geraldine Lane, and Kim Peacey form the LD team.

  • Sunflower Lanyard – Hidden Disabilities

    At Aspen Medical Practice we know that not all disabilities are visible.
    Our staff have been trained to recognise the Sunflower Lanyards developed by the Hidden Disability store which are being introduced across the UK. These lanyards let our staff know that you may need a little more time or help which they will be very happy to give.
