Adult Learning Disability Service (EPUT) - Health services

The EPUT Learning Disability Service works in partnership with Hertfordshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT), together we are Essex Learning Disability Partnership (ELDP).

Our key aim is to provide expert support to adults with learning disabilities (and their families/carers) in need of specialist health support to maintain good health and wellbeing.

We can help with:

• physical health
• daily living skills
• medication
• memory difficulties
• behaviour, thoughts and feelings
• comfort, breathing and movement
• communication
• developing a personalised care and support plan

The service consists of:

• Way-In (referral service)
• Inpatient Ward (Byron Court)
• two community teams: the Enhanced Support Team (EST) and the Community Specialist Health Team (CSH)
