Physical health
We will talk to you about your health and wellbeing within your pathway plan to understand what support you might need. Your leaving care personal adviser can support you to register with a GP, dentist and optician if you move to a different area or if you need to make a change.
Your leaving care personal adviser can also support you at some initial medical appointments where needed.
We also have a small team of medical professionals within Hertfordshire County Council that supports our children in care and care leavers. Your leaving care personal adviser can seek their advice where required.
You can also gain support via the NHS app and your social worker will look to ensure that you have access to this from 16 years old.
Keeping active
Everyone Active gyms within Hertfordshire offer free annual gym memberships to children looked after and care leavers, up to the age of 25. Speak to your leaving care personal adviser who will support you to access membership.
