People with learning disabilities are known to face barriers to accessing primary health care services. They thus risk exclusion from the government's public health agenda and from general medical services. Special service initiatives may be needed to promote awareness among primary health care professionals, carers and people with learning disabilities. The authors present the case for the health promoting role of the community learning disability nurse.
