Abstract
Healthcare may need to be delivered differently to people with learning disabilities to ensure equitable access (Northway 2011). 'Sara' had a phobia of needles and had not attended a GP surgery for some time. A desensitisation programme was developed and this article explores how collaborative working between community learning disability teams and primary health care resulted in Sara having her bloods taken successfully.
