Supporting the Physical Health Needs of People with Learning Disabilities by Steve Hardy
This handbook aims to increase awareness and knowledge of the main physical health that face people with learning disabilities, best practice in assessment and treatment of health problems, and the role professionals and families in this process. It offers advice on promoting good health, navigating the care pathways, and how to access a range of health services. It also explores the views of people with learning disabilities in relation to physical and mental health and current service provision. This handbook aims to simplify what can be a complex area in order to meet individual's healthcare needs. Within this book issues around accessing healthcare services for individuals with a learning disability are explored in detail and from a number of perspectives, including from people with learning disabilities and their carers who bear the brunt of these inequalities.
