We are pleased to announce the next Growing Older with Learning Disabilities webinar, talking place on 1 April at 12:30pm.

We will be joined by the Down's Syndrome Association to discuss non-dementia regression in people with Down's Syndrome.

Regression is a term used to describe the loss of previously acquired developmental skills in an individual not explained by autism or dementia. This type of regression typically occurs in adolescence/young adulthood and can happen over days, weeks, or months.

Although this regression has been recognised for many years, we are still learning about why this happens to some people. In this webinar we will talk about what we know so far.

🎬 A series of 10 dementia education training films is now available to watch. The films capture the experiences of people living in care homes and extra care sheltered housing settings across Gloucestershire.

The aim is to raise awareness and improve the quality of dementia care both locally and nationally, as well as providing practical strategies and skills for health and social care professionals and carers who are supporting people living with a dementia.

The films have been produced in partnership with a number of organisations including University of Gloucestershire Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust and Gloucestershire County Council

It is important everyone over the age of 14 who is on their doctor's learning disability register has an annual health check.

They can help you stay well by talking to a doctor or nurse about your health and finding any problems early.

If your doctor's practice has not already offered you an annual health check, you can ask them if you can have one.

️"Do you include me?" - Rahima's story

💬 “My name is Rahima Begum. I use this eye gaze computer to communicate with you. I need support from carers and family to be able to express myself better.”

In 2020, Rahima went to hospital for a chest infection. She was left out of conversations about her care, and decisions were made without asking her what she wanted.

“If the Government can make sure the NHS works for people with a learning disability then we can get the help we need, and there will be less mistakes.”

It's time to make sure every voice is heard.
Our Easy Read form is designed to make it simpler for you to tell the NHS how things can be improved for people with a learning disability.

Have your say today here, https://brnw.ch/21wQDIR

Image description: A photo of Rahima wearing a green jumper, looking towards the camera. There is a purple border around the image and white text that reads "Disabled people are unique and complex. We want healthcare that is tailored to us.". There is also text that reads underneath "What changes do you want to see in the NHS?"
