Supporting the Physical Health Needs of People with Learning Disabilities: A Handbook for Professionals, Support Staff and Families

Description:

Research shows that people with intellectual disabilities die on average much younger than the general population, and that over 40% of these deaths are considered premature. The reasons for this lower life expectancy are varied, but what we do know is that 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.

Supporting the Physical Health Needs of People with Learning Disabilities provides healthcare professionals, support staff, families and carers with information on a range of physical illnesses and health needs to help them support people with intellectual disabilities and physical health conditions. It aims to simplify what can be a complex area, and touches on the psychological issues that occur during physical ill health. It also addresses various ways in which clinical professionals should adapt their practice to meet the diverse needs of this population.

Review

'I think this is a really useful introduction to a number of topic areas for students. There are many complex needs of people with learning disabilities that nursing students will need to consider during their course and this text makes a good starting point in terms of how to support these needs. It is a practical and engaging text interspersed with case studies, allowing the reader to consider how interventions can be applied in practice. There is a good range of topic areas including supporting individuals in hospitals with a 'Good Practice Checklist' for Acute Care Admission. This text will be beneficial for all fields of nursing, not just the Learning Disability field. It is also commendable to see included perspectives from service users and carers.' --Fiona Rich, Senior Lecturer and Tutor for Learning Disability Nursing, Birmingham City University
