LEARNING DISABILITY FRIENDLY BADGE LAUNCHES IN COVENTRY AND WARWICKSHIRE
2 October 2023
Applications are now open for GP practices in Coventry and Warwickshire to apply for a Learning Disability Friendly Badge.
The Learning Disability Friendly Badge has been developed alongside GPs and local charity Grapevine. It is designed to highlight and award the fantastic work already happening within primary care to make practices a welcoming place for people with a learning disability, and to those providing the best possible personalised care.
To be awarded the accreditation, GP practices will need to apply, demonstrating that they meet the following criteria:
1. The GP practice has an identified Learning Disability Champion
2. People with a learning disability receive personalised care
3. People with a learning disability receive high quality Learning Disability Annual Health Checks that improve their health outcomes
4. The GP practice makes reasonable adjustments to enable easier access and improve patients’ experience of their care.
To find out more, please register for the Learning Disability Friendly Badge Webinar. The session is being held on Wednesday 22 November, from 1:30-2:30pm.
