You and Your Health
We know that if you have a learning disability it’s harder for you to get the help and support you need. So we’ve found a way to write down everything about your health and the care you need. It’s called a Medway Person Held Health Record.
All the people that help look after you can find out everything they need to know about you – and you can wite about yourself as well!
