Learning Disabilities Made Clear

Learning Disabilities Made Clear featured image
For many people, accessing the healthcare system remains a frightening experience - they are confronted by new environments, meet unfamiliar people, and don't know what to expect.

These fears may be compounded when the person coming into hospital already has other needs, such as a mental health condition, dementia, or a learning disability. Such conditions can affect the person's perceptions or understanding of hospital experiences.

Learning Disabilities Made Clear is an award-winning set of tools, commissioned by Health Education England (HEE), to help those in health and social care understand the needs of people with learning disabilities.

The toolkit brings together a range of resources to promote understanding about what it’s like to live with a learning disability, allowing healthcare professionals to adjust the care they deliver and help people with a learning disability accesses the services they need.

The toolkit is available for free from the HEE website - http://bit.ly/1RQ4m77
