Learning Disabilities Diary

The Health Diaries differ from conventional diaries. Tell your go to friend, the Diary how the person you are caring for and you, are. If you can write a text message on your mobile device, a shopping list, a to-do list, a short note to someone or any other note or message; you can, write in the Health Diary. You don't have to write in sentences and paragraphs, using grammar and punctuation. Write how you want. Use the diary to chart extensively the progress of your loved one, for whom you are the diligent Carer. Record important information pertaining to their care in it. No need to stress, remembering and attending medical appointments; worrying about what questions to ask, what issues to raise and what to say when the Doctor or Consultant enquires of the person's health. It's difficult to remember everything. With the Health Diary, you need not worry. You don't even have to attend the appointment, the person you're caring for will show it. Everything needed will be in it. Imagine having this to hand when the Health Professional requires it. The easy-to-read format means they can pick out the essential details of your loved one's health progress. This can help with the quick and early diagnosis of any symptoms or side effects that may determine the next stage of the treatment plan. The Health Diary, includes a section for you too, the Carer. You reflect on your needs and state how you are feeling. This may lead to positive conversations with your Doctor or Health Professional. NEW For the Second Edition The Carer's Handover section. Sometimes it's necessary to have more than one Carer to keep the person in your family, that you love, safe. This new section takes the worry out of letting the next Carer know of any important information. Fret no more because you forgot to mention... Enjoy writing in the Diary. Delve within and start using it, to help relieve your stress and worry. Well-Being and Good Mental Health Gives You Hope. Remember, there's only one of you.
