The Once for Wales Health Profile
Are you a person with a learning disability who wants your voice to be heard? Are you a parent or carer who advocates for people with additional needs? Are you a care professional who can support reasonable adjustments? The Health Profile is here to help.
This is a booklet owned by people with a learning disability to share important information about themselves and their health. It makes it easier for them to communicate, improving their experiences and helping them to get safe healthcare when they need it.
The Health Profile can be given to healthcare staff, like doctors and nurses, to help them give the right patient-centred care at the right time. It can be used at any appointment, including clinical places like hospitals or in the community at places like GP surgeries.
The Health Profile forms can be filled in by an individual person with a learning disability or with the help of someone who knows them well, such as friends, family, carers, or support staff.
