The #UCPexpanion means everyone can have one, holistic care plan that can provide personalised care rather than several care plans 🙌

Last year #TeamLAS attended around 15,900 people with a Learning Disability or Autistic people to provide care. Our accessible resources help people to know what to expect when we visit them, ensuring they get the care they need in a timely way 💚 #LearningDisabilityWeek

Encouraging everyone where possible to advocate their own support needs or those of the person they support, is so helpful for us to make individualised reasonable adjustments @Autism @mencap_charity @RichmondMencap @AACE_org
Jessica Howe@LAS_LDVS1 Nov 2022
Today we launch our “Ask the Question” campaign! This promotes asking patients if they have any support needs useful for us to know Eg a learning disability or being an autistic person. This enables staff to consider reasonable adjustments, reducing barriers to equal healthcare

Update: Due to the success of @Ldn_Ambulance's #Advanced #Paramedic Practitioner pilot, the role has been integrated into their operational model as business as usual. Now more patients are treated safely in the community, rather than transferred to #EDs. aace.org.uk/initiatives/adva…

A great day filming with @TheBakedBeanCompany creating our resources for people with a Learning Disability or Autistic people- focusing on increasing understanding and reducing anxiety about what to expect when being supported by the LAS.” #reducinghealthinequalities @AACE_org
