Carers please just ask!
Simple changes in hospital care can make a big difference, but sometimes we need your help to identify the most appropriate changes for each individual. If you are a carer of a patient with learning disabilities, and you have an idea about how their needs could be better met in our hospitals, please tell any member of staff responsible for their care.
Learning disability specialist nurse
For any further advice or support please contact learning disabilities specialist nurse Liz Dixon and Amanda Gill, learning disabilities liaison nurse.
