ABSTRACT
Nobody can go back and start a new beginning but anyone can start today and make a new ending.
(Robinson, 2011)
This chapter will demonstrate how health professionals in learning disability services have transformed their working practices and learned to adapt their skills over recent years to more effectively meet the needs of people with learning disabilities.The chapter shows how the health professional does not work in isolation of other health professionals and how, through a systematic process of care delivery, he/she ensures the person with learning disabilities receives the healthcare required. It will
also provide some contextual background on the cultural shift and changes in how learning disability services are delivered in response to signifi cant reports regarding access to healthcare services.
