The Moray Community Learning Disability Team offers support to people with a learning disability, their parents and carers, and to voluntary and professional groups dealing with people who have a learning disability. The Team is run jointly by NHS Grampian and the Social Work Division of The Moray Council.

The Team consists of three community nurses (RNMH), a clinical psychologist, care managers, a community support manager, two psychology assistants, a physiotherapist, a GP clinical assistant, a speech and language therapist and a consultant psychiatrist.

The Team:

• carries out assessment of need and sets up packages of care, health issues
• provides information, training, education and counselling support for people with a learning disability, their carers and for other professionals groups
• can put clients in contact with specialised services

There is also an Epilepsy Clinic with referral by a GP and an epilepsy course available for carers.

Usually by GP but members of the public can phone the team for advice. Referral via a Single Shared Assessment (SSA)

Assessments are free, so is direct staff intervention / support via CLDT staff members. Community support, care packages may require a Finance Assessment and client contribution.
