Br J Nurs.
1996.
Abstract
This article explores issues related to the health of people with learning disabilities, with particular reference to the Department of Health (1995a) document The Health of the Nation: A Strategy for People with Learning Disabilities. This publication has stimulated care staff across all agencies to take a fresh look at this client group and their health needs in the five key areas: coronary heart disease and stroke; cancers; HIV/AIDS and sexual health; accidents; and mental health.
