We are the Adult Learning Disability Health Service at Sirona care and health, a multi-professional team who support people who need help because of their learning disability. Our service ensures that people with a learning disability and their families have access to the services they need.

Our teams help people with a learning disability through providing advice and guidance to other services; training on how to work with people who have a learning disability; guidance and training on how to make reasonable adjustments; and through direct care and support when other health services are not able to with reasonable adjustments.
