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.

Supporting the Physical Health Needs of People with Learning Disabilities: A handbook for professionals, support staff and families

Woodward, Peter

<p>It has long been known that people with learning disabilities have poorer health than the¬ general population, but the extent of these differences becomes striking when considering the evidence of reduced life expectancy. In 2013 the Confidential Inquiry into the Premature Deaths of People with Learning Disabilities reported that men typically die 13 years younger and women 20 years younger than the general population. In 42% of cases the death was considered premature.The reasons for this lower life expectancy are varied but what we do know is this group are two and a half times more likely to have multiple health needs than other people, and often have difficulties accessing health services or receiving appropriate treatment from clinicians.As well as looking at the challenges of accessing healthcare and navigating care pathways, this -handbook presents a practical guide to the most common conditions and health needs, with chapters written by experts in those conditions and their relationship to learning disabilities. A range of issues are covered, including mental health, cancer, epilepsy, respiratory and swallowing problems, and poor sight and hearing.The book aims to increase awareness and knowledge of how these conditions and issues present themselves, as well as how they can be prevented in the first place, and best practice in assessment and treatment. It will therefore be a valuable resource for families, support workers and health professionals.</p>
