Learning Disability Lunchtime Learning Sessions

Learning Disability Lunchtime Learning Sessions

 We’re excited to launch our new Learning Disability Lunchtime Learning Sessions.

Sessions will be facilitated by:

• Marie Gibson, GP Lead for Learning Disabilities and Autism, NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire
• Rachael Skinner, Clinical Lead for Learning Disabilities and Autism, NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire

Dementia and Learning Disabilities  
Taking place on Thursday the 25th of September from 12:45 – 13:45

This session will briefly summarise the most recent developments in pathways across the two counties, for people with a learning disability who may and do develop dementia; and talk to the most recent guidance for assessment, diagnosis, and post diagnostic support from the BPS and RPSYCH.

This session will also touch upon the importance of involving families, how to involve members of the Community LD teams for person centred dementia support when the person also has a learning disability, and share local stories of success and challenges with an aim of improving practice in this area across the board.
