This textbook presents a practical guide for new and experienced
health or social care staff, helping them promote the health and
well-being of people with learning disabilities. Given the
considerable demand for mandatory training on supporting people
with learning disabilities, especially in England, the book
provides a valuable resource for all training courses on working
with people with learning disabilities. The chapters are co-written
by practitioners and people with learning disabilities and their
families, rooting the book in the lived experiences of those
concerned. Topics covered include core elements of being happy and
healthy, communication, changes in our behaviour when we are
unwell, making decisions about our health, accessing health
services, how we would want to be treated if we were unwell, the
use of psychotropic medication, what a 'good death' would be, and
how to keep ourselves healthy. In addition, the chapters include
narrative examples concerning people with learning disabilities and
their families, so as to highlight key points and share
best-practice examples. The use of personal reflection is used to
consider how we can ensure that people with learning disabilities
receive care and support that matches what we would expect for
ourselves. Core questions at the end of each chapter ask the reader
to reflect on how the chapter content relates to their own work and
how they will apply what they have learned. A consistent theme
throughout the book is equality of opportunity for people with
learning disabilities to achieve good health. There is now
substantial evidence that people with learning disabilities have
poorer health than the general population, are more likely to have
multiple health needs, and can experience difficulties in having
their illnesses diagnosed and treated promptly. This book aims to
help those supporting people with learning disabilities to achieve
more equal outcomes.
