Event Overview

One Day Essentials is a series of one-day online conferences – broadcast live – providing expert specialist clinical training and essential information.

Join us on Wednesday 28 February 2024 for a One Day Essential conference on the medical needs of our patients with a learning disability.

The national learning disability mortality review programme ‘learning from lives and deaths – LeDeR’ has shone a light on the huge health inequalities experienced by this population. This course will cover a variety of topics aiming to help GPs support the health needs and complexity of their patients with a learning disability.

Learning objectives:

  • To develop an understanding of the health inequalities revealed by the learning disability mortality review programme LeDeR.
  • To include further reviews of some of the clinical causes of premature death and health inequality as well as other contributing factors, in particular that experienced by people with a learning disability from minority ethnic groups.
  • To provide guidance to GPs on methods to improve clinical outcomes for this group in primary care, including the need to make adjustments to how care is provided
  • To demonstrate these issues using case discussion and hearing the voices of people with a learning disability and their families
  • To consider how best to raise the question of advance care planning for people with a learning disability

Topics:

  • Improving outcomes for people with a learning disability from minority ethnic groups, based on research conducted by University of Central Lancashire UCLAN – We Deserve Better.
  • Falls and movement disorders in adults with a learning disability
  • Bone protection in adults with a learning disability
  • A parent’s view of her daughter’s lived experience of an learning disability annual health check plan for how to prevent adults with a learning disability not being brought to appointments
