Improving health outcomes in people with Learning Disabilities and Autism
10 May 2024
Medicines Optimisation Workshops
People with LDA have poor quality access to healthcare which causes inequalities and premature death. This session will focus on measures that can be taken in primary care, through a sustainable multi-disciplinary programme to improve diagnostic validation, consideration of prescribing decisions and meaningful annual health checks within the local health economy. Providing structured training to the workforce improves the much-needed capacity in primary care but enables improvement in access to healthcare. This session will also include the importance of engagement with carers and harnessing their expertise for future service developments.
