Tips from care leavers
If you move area when you leave care you may need to register with a different GP practice.
It's really important to attend your dentist every 6 months, if you miss your appointments you may have to apply to a new practice for NHS treatment.
Your mental health is important. Pathway can support you to arrange and attend appointments.
It’s important to know about your physical, emotional and sexual health to keep well and to be safe.
Having a bus pass means you're not socially isolated, you can get to visit your family and friends and not have to worry about the weather or getting home at night.
