A health clinic for people with learning disabilities.
The needs of people with a learning disability are not always met due to inequalities in healthcare provision. This study set out to explore the effectiveness of a 'pop in' clinic for these clients. It was found that the clinic was used by about one third of the population under study and a wide range of health problems were dealt with as a result. The author concludes that such a clinic is an effective method of reducing inequality and that specialist health visitors are in an ideal position to provide this type of service.
